One British News Anchor for the BBC just found out on live television that in Rio, sex on the beach is more than just a fruity cocktail. The anchor found himself awkwardly switching to a different news story when a couple behind him appeared to be “going for the gold” during a live broadcast from the Rio Olympic games. “For those asking what’s going on in the background on social media, we’re not going to zoom in but rest assured, it’s not that,” he frantically explained.“It’s just a hug.”
Then he added, “They’re reading a book. They’re reading a book in a strange pose, OK?” Smiling playfully, he continued: “It’s merely a book, we’ll find out what the book is maybe a little later on. We’re not going any closer to that.” Noticeably trying not to laugh, he sent viewers over to men’s basketball. He later retweeted the clip, saying “It’s live TV,” with a tearful, laughing emoji. “Anything can happen!” As one woman tweeted in reply: “We make love not war in Rio. Don’t judge.”
In the mood for a little beach…reading? We’re always down for a good, er, book here!
