The post Coldplay concert clip causes online uproar, resignation and satire appeared first on Salon.com. Andy Byron, CEO of data startup Astronomer, resigned Friday following viral video footage from a Coldplay concert that sparked online backlash and company investigation.

The sports world had a field day making fun of the alleged affair caught on camera at a Coldplay concert earlier this week at Gillette Stadium.

The viral claims of 'The Simpsons' predicting the Astronomer saga involving Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot have been debunked.

Apart from congratulations to other-Andy (and a hearty how dare for the unearned burn on Coldplay), this is an example of how deflection and humor might come in handy. The immediate deletion is the double-click equivalent of Byron's physical drop to the ground. Conspicuous! An admission by omission!

A Coldplay concertgoer captured a CEO and HR director's awkward reaction to being shown on "Kiss Cam," resulting in a viral video with over 30 million views and an investigation.

Trump-Hillary meme spins from Coldplay concert kiss cam moment. No affair—just internet satire doing what it does best.

Jin humorously mimicked the scandalous hug and hiding moments between corporate employees at Coldplay's Boston concert. BLKACKPINK members Rose and Lisa too did the same.

What began as an awkward moment during a Coldplay concert has now inspired a quirky point-and-click game. And, it is making the rounds online.
