News station show man's private parts by accident instead of footage of solar eclipse

Somebody really dropped the ball on this one

You know what they say about a testicular eclipse, don't look directly at it to avoid damaging your eyes.

Mexican outlet RCG Media was broadcasting the moment live on air, and it appears someone really dropped the ball on this one.

Watch below, and remember to wear your shades:

Millions around the world tuned it to news coverage of Monday's (8 April) total solar eclipse.

Around 44 million Americans witnessed a total eclipse, while hundreds of millions were close enough to see most of the Sun being obscured.

The eclipse was visible from North America and Mexico as RCG Media was ready and prepped for the big moment.

But instead of one big moment, it got two.

The on-air blunder happed in real-time as the broadcasted images of the eclipse briefly transitioned into a video of a pair of testicles.

Thankfully, the producers spotted the orbs quickly enough to switch out the footage.

But in the age of social media, the moment was, of course, picked up and shared with thousands.

Taking to X, one user joked: "Solar eclipse vs testicles, come on, it's a simple mistake. It can happen to anybody."

Another added: "Having worked in media my entire life - I can only imagine how much screaming there was in the locker room."

A third also quipped: "That was pretty ballsy of them to air that. It's just nuts!"

Someone else wrote: "Someone’s getting fired.

"Shortly after the image displayed for all their viewers to see, the production team quickly removed it.

"The hosts were clearly disturbed as the two women sat with stunned looks on their faces."

Now, as our US and Mexican counterparts looked to be having a whale of a time, many Brits took to social media to vent their frustrations about how the weather, yet again, let us down.

It was too cloudy, can you believe it?

On Monday, one person tweeted: "The sucky thing is, I live where there'd actually be the most coverage of the eclipse in the whole UK, and its cloudy lmao."

Another wrote: "Glad that the total eclipse wasn't over the UK (again) cos this weather is GRIM."

A third joked: "I FINALLY get to see a Solar Eclipse!...

"It's the cloudiest day I've ever seen in the UK."

But it gets worse for the UK, because the next visible total solar eclipse will be in 2090.
