Most normal people who had the unfortunate fate of turning on the Paris Olympics opening ceremony were at least a little weirded out by the images on the screens in front of them. For Christian viewers, the opening ceremony was downright blasphemous.
The ceremony featured a parody of The Last Supper that showed a large woman wearing a halo and presumably representing Jesus surrounded by drag queens. It was rightfully blasted by Christians and conservatives who saw the stunt for what it truly was: a mockery of Christianity.

Sadly, the despicable opening ceremony wasn’t all. Shortly into the boxing competition in Paris, it became clear that the women were at a disadvantage as two boxers who failed gender tests last year brutalized their competition and both reached the semifinals.
One female competitor forfeited within 46 seconds of her match with Algerian boxer Imane Khelif, who was disqualified during the 2023 World Championships after failing a gender test. Another female lost her chance to win gold when Taiwanese boxer Lin Yu-ting defeated her. Lin Yu-ting also failed a gender test that was conducted by the International Boxing Association (IBA) last year.
The IBA also held a press conference this week, defending its gender tests on the boxers. “The blood results look and say — the laboratories — that this boxer is male,” said Dr. Ioannis Filippatos, the former Chair of the IBA Medical Committee.
The Olympics, for obvious reasons, is one of the biggest opportunities for companies to advertise their products to the world. Spending millions of dollars on ads during the Olympics could boost companies in ways that just aren’t possible at any other time of the year.
But there comes a time when it’s just plain wrong to give your money to the people comfortable with planning and broadcasting a ceremony that disrespects the largest religion in the world and approves of women competing against boxers whose biological sex is in question.
C Spire, a telecommunications and technology company, recognized that a line had been crossed and pulled its advertising from the Olympics, saying it was “shocked” by the opening ceremony. At Jeremy’s Razors, we too were shocked and appalled by both the opening ceremony and the unfairness in boxing and thankfully, we never gave the Olympics a dime for advertising. In fact, we don’t give our money to any programming that hates our customers.
While the Olympic organizers “apologized” to people who were disgusted by the opening ceremony, they defended the drag queen-themed Last Supper. Thomas Jolly, the ceremony’s director, said the scene was actually a reference to Greek mythology and he wanted “to create a big pagan party in link with the God of Mount Olympus.” Others claimed the performance was based on Jan van Bijlert’s painting, “The Feast of the Gods,” but both attempts at quieting the outrage are pathetic explanations for a scene that Christians worldwide clearly saw as targeting their faith.
In this day and age, where you spend money can speak to what your values are. Trust is everything when it comes to supporting brands that may use those hard-earned dollars of yours to elevate a cause that runs directly against what you care about.
You can rest assured that when you buy products from Jeremy’s Razors, you’re giving your money to a company that doesn’t hate you or your values, and only wants to give you a great shave. No pushing drag queens or LGBT pride down your throat. No mocking your Christian faith or conservative values. No support for women getting punched in the face by boxers who failed gender tests. Just quality products.
Consumer goods giant Procter & Gamble has been a Worldwide Olympic Partner since 2010. Is P&G upset with the 2024 opening ceremony or concerned about women competing against boxers with an unfair advantage? It doesn’t appear so.
At Jeremy’s, we’re tired of Christians and conservatives constantly getting mocked and villainized by the media, Hollywood, and big corporations. And we’re tired of women being forced to compete against athletes who have clear biological advantages. But we’re not just crying about it. We’re working every day to give consumers the option to stop giving their money to the people who hate them.
And Jeremy’s knows you may need a shower after watching this year’s Olympics, which is why we’re offering Buy One Get One FREE on Jeremy’s Tea Tree and Argan Oil Shampoo & Charcoal Body Wash right now. That way you can get a woke-free clean and forget the progressive propaganda on the Olympic Games. The people deserve woke-free champion, and Jeremy’s is at the top of the podium.
