US firm to pull Olympic ad after Last Supper parody
American technology company C Spire has announced plans to withdraw its advertising from the Paris Olympics.
The reason was a scandalous incident involving a parody scene of the Last Supper, which is a symbol of Christian beliefs.
Representatives of the American legal entity explained: “We were shocked by what we saw,” as C Spire reported on the social network X.
According to company officials, ridiculing the Last Supper is an unacceptable step.
An outrageous act
The opening ceremony of the Olympic Games took place in Paris this year 2024.
The event was accompanied by a number of incidents that subsequently received wide publicity.
So, in addition to presenting a parody of the Last Supper, the flag of the International Olympic Committee was raised upside down.
The event's announcer referred to the South Korean athletes as a team from North Korea, which caused outrage among the former.
