I have no idea wat this thread is about. I may have heard of the band, but have never heard anything by them.

Anyone else get inspired by the Astronomer CEO fiasco? I've been laughing myself silly over it and an infidelity story I was planning has taken a fun little turn.

The Phillies mascots have gotten in on the action!

I don't mind saying: I think Coldplay gets a bad rap. They're not the greatest band of all time, but they're not stooges. They're an accomplished pop-rock band with a variety of smart, melodic songs that encompass a lot of different sounds. I saw them in concert once and they put on a decent show.

A measured, reasonable take?

Are you sure you belong on the internet?

TL: DR: A CEO for a tech co. got busted canoodling with his head of HR (both of whom are married) on Coldplay's version of a kiss cam.



They very much acted deer in headlights and suspicious in the moment which fuels the memes.

*edit* Even the band's front man called it out real time.

“Oh, either they’re having an affair or they’re very shy,” frontman Chris Martin quipped, per social media footage.

It's either that or write notes to myself about how reasonable I am and put them in a drawer.

That sounds like a hilarious drawer for someone to stumble across.

I'm not looking in Simon's drawers.

Ehh, 'nother day on the web.

Hilarious, or deeply concerning!

Magic, infinite drawers ARE hard to come by.

Lit won't let me post the image, so I'm just going to quote it:

"Coldplay become first band in history to release 4 singles in one night"

 

[NuclearFairy]

Hilarious, or deeply concerning!

It can be both.

Coldplay's music does absolutely nothing for me but the band themselves as human beings seem like upstanding people. They give a portion of what they earn into a number of different charitable causes and ask that any gifts intended for them are given to charity instead. They seem to believe in being environmentally conscious and they have a history of supporting the LGBTQ+ community.

Making a CEO's life harder is just the icing on the cake, honestly. Good for these lads.

Excellent.

Needs more Literotica tho...

I think this is the right call.

I thought all drawers held exactly twelve inches here.

I don't think it was intentional, they don't control the kiss cam. This was just an example of Lady karma deciding to dole out some of her namesake.

Two married people carrying on in a public event is not the brightest thing to do.

They're not my type of music so I can't speak to whether they're good or bad. I'll probably get mocked for this but I never got the hate for Nickelback. They're not the greatest, but they have some good songs and put on a good show the first time I saw them when they opened for Bon Jovi(who I've seen six, yes six, times because he's my wife's fav) however, the second time I saw them Chad was drunk and it was not cool. But musically I never understood the backlash to them.

 

[Five_Inch_Heels]

Do we know the other two halves weren't also out on a date?

Lit stuff would make it true.

While no one really admits to loving Coldplay, I don’t think it’s very likely you get flak if you say you like them.

Indeed, if you are getting laughed at, then you probably messed up and accidentally said you like Nickelback.

The after effects don't seem to imply any malice.

That or Chris is one hell of an actor.

Considering the evil going on in the world right now, Nickelback is damn near honorable.
