RCG Media, a Mexican news channel, is trending online after presenting testicles instead of the solar eclipse that occurred yesterday, April 8.
RCG Media news anchors were reacting just as the eclipse reached totality, but things got really intriguing when they cut to a different angle of a bright light, most likely the sun.
Seconds later, the testes slipped into the frame, obscuring the light and providing their viewers with a brief but close-up view of someone’s family jewels.

The anchors on set had visibly shocked expressions. Though RCG Media is unlikely to giggle at the on-air malfunction, the internet has taken a kick out of the now-viral morning, with some saying that the flashing caused more harm to their eyesight than the eclipse.
Regarding how the testicles ended up on the programme, RCG Media apparently asked people to submit in personal eclipse footage, which, in retrospect, was a very hazardous move.
The balls in question are alleged to be Tommy Lee’s. The Motley Crue drummer allegedly posted and removed an astonishingly similar eclipse re-creation featuring his testicles, which may have leaked into the RCG control centre.
Thankfully, the viral flashing did not overshadow the momentous day, with millions of people heading outside to witness the uncommon sight
