    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”.

      Their reactions to being on the big screen, which instigated Chris Martin’s live commentary, is what’s causing this video to go viral.

      The point being if they hadn’t had this reaction to getting caught, Chris Martin wouldn’t have commented, and the video probably never would’ve taken off or even been posted outside of someone’s private story.

      If someone is having an affair, and having an affair in a public place, and the affair is between the CEO and the lead person at the company who knows better than to instigate this type of relationship (the head of HR), then this is a hilarious way to get caught.

        So a simple lolcow exacerbated by belonging to a group of people that (deservedly) has image problems. Alright then.

          It is more so that the singer’s response to their reaction was to say she was shy or having an affair and it turned out to be the latter. That would be funny no matter who they were .

          Him being a ceo was the cherry on top.

          I dunno’, the chain of exacerbations is pretty hilarious. Even better it’s happening to a class of people that deserve zero respect.

            Well, yeah, I can see why people are amused. I personally just don’t care all that much because they’re not exactly important, is all :)

      No. You’re just witnessing the pathetic side of humanity trying to own someone that gets more pussy or dick than them.
