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...".
I had to look it up
And they would have likely gotten away with it, if it wasn't for that pesky kisscam.
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.
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
I would ln't spoon my work wife at one of the biggest music act to begin with
People still don't understand what the concept of "public" means.

Y'all remember the guy that was exposed with his side girl at an NBA game?
Sucks that the company is named Astronomer. It's not even space based.
Thank you for clearing this up! I, like I assume many were, was assuming this dude was a scientist.
Stockton Rush's passengers made the same mistake.
Lol, only one I feel bad for was the kid. I heard he didn't even want to go.
Such a stupid name for a company.
There is only 1 CEO I have seen hit the ground faster than that, I don't think I am beeing too harsh.

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!
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.

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.
Why do we care about this?
Is anyone involved in this, someone i should know?
The news of it happening doesn't land like the video of it happening does.

It's fucking brutal.
"Coldplay hasn’t made a single in years but today they made two." LOL
Technically they made four.
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.

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

Do I need to know who that is? I tried looking up the name but all I can find is gossipy yelling about the two of them and Coldplay so apparently this seems to be some big deal but in general I don't think it should be the public's concern if someone has an affair (exceptions apply).
What's weird is that when these videos first started popping up is that every one of them talked about "Astronomer CEO". I couldn't understand how they knew he was a CEO or why he was an astronomer. It turns out that Astronomer is a "DataOps platform built on Apache Airflow". That's even an area I know a fair amount about, and I'd never even heard of them. It's strange that it wasn't just "cheating couple caught on kiss cam", but instead immediately it was "Astronomer CEO".

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