Mexican news station Mistakenly shows testicles instead of solar eclipse
RCG Media, a Mexican news station, has found itself at the center of online attention after an unexpected blunder during their coverage of yesterday’s solar eclipse on April 8.
As the eclipse reached totality, the news anchors at RCG Media were providing commentary when things took an unexpected turn.
In a moment that caught everyone off guard, the broadcast switched to a different angle, focusing on a bright light, presumably the sun.
However, instead of capturing the celestial event, viewers were treated to an unexpected sight—testicles dipping into frame, obscuring the light and offering a close-up view of someone’s private anatomy. The shock on the faces of the anchors was palpable and visible to viewers.
While RCG Media likely isn’t amused by the on-air mishap, the incident quickly became viral online, with many finding humor in the unexpected mooning.
Some internet users joked that the unexpected flashing may have caused more damage to their eyesight than the actual eclipse.
The inclusion of the testicles in the broadcast has been attributed to a risky decision by RCG Media to solicit personal eclipse footage from viewers. In hindsight, this request proved to be ill-advised and led to the embarrassing incident.
Speculation has arisen regarding the identity of the individual whose testicles made an unexpected appearance on air.
It’s been alleged that they belong to Tommy Lee, the drummer of Motley Crue, who reportedly posted and then deleted a similar eclipse re-creation featuring his own anatomy.
Somehow, it’s suggested that this footage may have found its way into the RCG control room and inadvertently made its way onto the broadcast.
Despite the viral distraction, the solar eclipse remained a significant event, with millions of people stepping outside to witness the rare celestial occurrence.
