Plus facial recognition, license plate readers, GPS location data in every photo we post, and cell phone GPS location being shared to every app.
Behave well, tell the truth, follow rules, live an honorable life, be a decent and kind person...not hard.
In this case, don't flaunt adultery in front of 60,000 people near your hometown where your spouse and kids live. No excuses.

Unless you are there wirh your AP, going to a Coldplay concert is absolutely not pleasurable.
Some folks in my network know the CEO and in their words this is all karma - he's supposedly awful.

The reason people are maling it such a big deal is because almost everyone has done something really damn dumb. Not necessarily something so embarrassing, but just...dumb.
I think the word is shaucenfrude.
Do you the families are enjoying this being all over the internet? I wouldn't.

How good Kristin Cabot would be in any position.

Sure there are consequences: private ones not for your enjoyment. Divorce, etc.
This appeared to be the tipping point….the pot was simmering ..and then this video at this point and time blew the lid off.
Uh, no. Nothing has blown its lid.
The key word here is "private." These two cheaters thought they could do what they wanted in a public arena with cameras and 60,000 or so spectators with cellphones. If they wanted privacy, they made a very poor choice; and the world is mocking them.
Bogus premise. Your odds of being on some sort of kiss cam jumbotron in a stadium full of 60k people is really slim.
I met somebody from my US grad program randomly on the 5th floor of a tourist craft store in Delhi. He was a Delhi native (although living in the US) and I was on a business trip.
I also once ran into a former coworker while sightseeing in China. Both of us tourists.
If you're at a giant concert near home, odds are people you know are in the crowd.
