This is so good

Whoopsie.

In these moments I like to say "Haha, get fucked!"

He is, just not by his wife.

 

[Jon]

Or the mistress anymore.

Who knows? If you both just torched your monogamous relationships, might as well stay together than be single apart. Damage is already done.

But monogamy in general is lol to me.

I assume there's a stigma in the millionaire circle that may prevent that. Though, that's a guess because I'm not a millionaire.

Fair point. I'm sure they're all twisted up in greed and jealousy, when all that money is involved.

Though I wonder about some of those Hollywood people. They tend to get real close to their co-stars.

 

[Ben]

Pfft that story is everywhere. Just got a Google News alert about it. They truly are cooked.

 

[Ben]

Reddit was right that if they hadn't freaked out no one would have given a fuck, but there's no way they aren't getting caught now.

I think his wife still would have given a fuck.

If she had seen it, but there was a chance if they played it cool no one who knows them sees it

This. The chances of their spouses/anyone watching that Coldplay concert, at that specific moment, and seeing them together is exceedingly lower than the likelihood they see them all over the internet.

Apparently the dude already disabled his LinkedIn and his wife dropped his last name on her profile, so yeah, RIP.

Do you really think it's REALLY that unlikely someone says "Oh hey, that looks like Bob. Hey Bob's wife, have you seen this?"

I don't.

I don't.

It is possible, but the way they reacted made sure they would get caught. These are just for a few seconds and mostly disappear unless there is something like this

 

[Ben]

Do you really think it's REALLY that unlikely someone says "Oh hey, that looks like Bob. Hey Bob's wife, have you seen this?"

I don't.

I'd start from a point of "how many people like Coldplay enough to go to/watch a concert in 2025", and that already reduces the chances to "very slim".

Sure, not impossible they'd get recognized, but they for sure are now.

 

[Ben]

Looooool. Blames Coldplay for violating his privacy. Quotes 'friend' Coldplay at the end.

 

[Fool's Requiem]

I hate these statements...

 

[shortkut]

Statement would have been fine if he left out the final paragraph

 

[Ben]

It would be fun to see how distraught the PR team was watching him add his own final thought to their reasonable message.

 

[Fool's Requiem]

Placing blame on someone else is bad enough.

Its the utter fakeness of these statements. This person isn't remorseful, he's annoyed that his fun is over and that he now has to do damage control.

Don't fuck up like this in the first place, and you don't need to "apologize".

 

[Jon]

Hey, this is supposed to be a thread about videos that amuse me. Now... someone fix the seriousness issue we have going at the moment!

Fine.

 

[dimmerwit]

Besides, if you want a private moment maybe don't expect it at a public venue. Don't tickets all say that you can be filmed?

 

[Quagmire]

Fine.

Look, I gotta do something around here every now and then to justify the bowl of gruel Crystal throws into the admin cage. It's not that often Mark fucks up a react for me to fix.

Coldplay sucks.

If you're gonna get caught cheating, at least get caught at a decent show.

Like their shitty attempt to sound like the American version of the even shittier Gallagher brothers?

You're perhaps the only person to have read the TOC. I am not surprised by this.

 

[dimmerwit]

I just read them for the first time. I don't just shitpost, I want legally sound shitposts.

The fuck is Astronomer

Just another bullshit tech company that offers data orchestration services. Never heard of them before now.

I bet their site visits and google searches went through the roof today.

Nerd. Nobody reads that shit. I haven't even read that shit. We made our own rules so we don't have to read that shit.. and you still read that shit.

Plot twist. This was their take on guerilla marketing.

Thank fuck. I didn't want to be the first admin to admit I never read the fucking rules upon registering. Crystal would withhold the gruel again.

I mean... It should be now. Board replaces the CEO and CPO and capitalizes on the publicity.

I ain't scared. Fuck them rules. For all I care, the only rule here should be to not be a piece of shit to your fellow members (heh).

...and the newly divorced couples end up moving on to some other companies to collect a check like nothing ever happened.

Golden rule is all we ever needed.

Probably, but that dude is about to lose at least half of his wealth in a divorce, so maybe he'll have to drop down to like, regional manager at Best Buy.

Id imagine someone in that tax bracket would have a fairly thorough prenup

And don't forget the golden parachute they are getting on their way out the door
