In a bizarre and embarrassing incident, a Mexican news outlet mistakenly aired footage of a man's testicles during a live broadcast of the 2024 Solar Eclipse.

The incident quickly went viral, with social media users sharing screenshots and clips of the broadcast. The news outlet has since issued an apology for the mistake, explaining that it was the result of a prank by a viewer who had submitted the inappropriate image to the station.

This embarrassing blunder serves as a reminder of the potential pitfalls of live broadcasting and the importance of verifying content before it is aired.
