This whole situation is kinda like the Streisand effect; nobody would have know who they were if they didnt react

Their employees and partners probably WorldCom found out about it but it wouldn't have become the eternal meme it is now.

And I still don’t. I see these people everywhere but never an ounce of context.

'Random' couple gets put up on big screen during the kiss cam or something during a cold play concert since they were embracing each other and it seemed like a nice moment. Said couple immediately turn away from eachother and try to hide. Coldplay singer says they must be having an affair. Turns out theyre both married, higher ups in a company, and having an affair with each other.
