I wish they would maybe capitalize the proper nouns in this post. On first readings, not knowing Astronomer is the name of a corporation, I thought they were just referring to a CEO that also happened to be an avid stargazer -"What a strange detail to include...".

[–] fne8w2ah@lemmy.world 17 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

And they would have likely gotten away with it, if it wasn't for that pesky kisscam.

[–] bus_factor@lemmy.world 18 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Might have also gotten away with it if they didn't completely freak out in front of the kiss cam, so everyone started thinking they were cheating and looked into who they were.

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 9 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

This. Entirely this.

If they had just gone "woo hoo we're on the TV thing at a concert! Woohoo" .... Like everyone expected them to, then nobody would have given a shit.

They're just people having fun at a concert.

Meanwhile, they freaked the fuck out, the guys on stage pointed it out, and everyone went full Psycho trying to figure out what was going on. And now they're in the daily dose of Internet.

GG guys. Ĝis poste

Sucks that the company is named Astronomer. It's not even space based.

[–] insaneinthemembrane@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours ago

Such a stupid name for a company.

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 10 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Thank you for clearing this up! I, like I assume many were, was assuming this dude was a scientist.

[–] drunkpostdisaster@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Stockton Rush's passengers made the same mistake.

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 2 points 8 hours ago

Lol, only one I feel bad for was the kid. I heard he didn't even want to go.

[–] WrenFeathers@lemmy.world 9 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago) (2 children)

I don’t get it…

Is he an astronomer? Or is that the name of his company? Seriously, who here had ever even heard of him, or his company prior to this?

Yet somehow this is now major news? Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 6 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

It's news because it's fucking hilarious. The clip is funny even without knowing it's a corporate scandal. But the context makes it even juicier.

[–] WrenFeathers@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

At least I can take solace in the fact that I don’t need dumb shit line this to be entertained.

[–] TeddE@lemmy.world 14 points 12 hours ago

Excellent point. There's a certain 'sacrificial lamb' vibe to this. With everything going on right now, how is this worth anyone's time?

I'm not the biggest Coldplay fan, so let me extrapolate: if tomorrow we learned Weird Al Yankovic's mother liked to kick puppies that would certainly be odd, definitely not good news. But I'd still think having Trump not releasing the Epstein files is a matter far more worth our attention.

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 32 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

There is only 1 CEO I have seen hit the ground faster than that, I don't think I am beeing too harsh.

[–] TargaryenTKE@lemmy.world 10 points 19 hours ago

We need more ~~CEOs~~ data.

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 25 points 22 hours ago (3 children)

I wonder if they would have gotten away with it if they'd just played it cool.

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 7 points 12 hours ago

100%! Imagine you look up on the big screen and you see two fifty year olds swaying to some generic pop music. Nobody would've cared enough to look them up.

Why do we care about this?

Is anyone involved in this, someone i should know?

[–] Fredthefishlord@lemmy.blahaj.zone 40 points 21 hours ago

Because it's funny as shit.

[–] Bamboodpanda@lemmy.world 95 points 1 day ago (3 children)

The news of it happening doesn't land like the video of it happening does.

It's fucking brutal.

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 28 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

"Coldplay hasn’t made a single in years but today they made two." LOL

[–] KnightontheSun@sh.itjust.works 12 points 17 hours ago

Technically they made four.

Anyone got a mirror that doesn't require a fucking Instagram account?

Edit: YouTube short but at least it doesn't try to beg for a login: https://m.youtube.com/shorts/xL8gdhw4q5I

Oh man, so much worse. What an idiot, if they had just smiled and waved it never would’ve gone viral.

Edit: and also if they had never decided to have an affair they wouldn’t be in the situation in the first place.

[–] Malfeasant@lemmy.world 8 points 16 hours ago

if they had never decided to have an affair

Yeah, but that's too difficult. Just ask my wife.
