A Mexican news channel that was live-streaming Monday’s solar eclipse was accepting viewer submissions, and whoever they had vetting these user-generated videos may have missed one, or two.

After the video was removed, the broadcasters started excusing themselves and explaining how mistakes are common when airing user-submitted footage, especially when you have some underpaid intern who can’t even sift through videos to make sure there aren’t any balls.
“Lol, Mexico has been tea bagging us for years now,” wrote @RightisRightPA.
