Here's How to Avoid Accidentally Showing Your Genitals to Your Colleagues on Zoom

Please read and consider:

Consider avoiding having your junk out in the first place

Yes, this one is a little out of left field, but hear me out. You can’t expose your genitals to a room full of colleagues—some of whom you may have known and respected for decades!—if you take steps to ensure your genitals aren’t visible to anyone at all.

Clothing designers have known the risks of accidental genital exposure for years, and they’ve designed several innovative technologies to prevent it from happening. For example, they’ve invented pants, which are a sort of leg tube system that adjoins at the top and typically shield the crotch from visibility. They might set you back a bit; expect to pay at least $20 for a good set of pants. The good news is you can buy them pretty much anywhere. (You should probably own several, as the pants system isn’t necessarily foolproof with extended wear and tear.) With properly sized pants secured to your waist, your coworkers won’t be able to see your genitals no matter what you do, other than taking off your pants.

He will return to cnn

He will receive a heroes welcome

There is no such thing as bad publicity

I think there’s a good chance he won’t.

Now’s the time the #metoo accusations will be (re)surfaced.

I have no idea who this guy is or where he stands politically. The reactions to this incident seem to be divided along the usual political lines, which is a little strange. I for one think there's no reason to fire or ban him. He made a stupid mistake, but he didn't do anything illegal. He was already punished enough by the ridicule.

[George K]

People have been fired for less. Much less.

[Jolly]

Tremendously less.

Klaus you’re correct on all fronts. I don’t think he should lose his roles, I just think he probably will.

I haven't heard any people on the left come to his defense.

[Mik]

I can't imagine anything they could do to him that's worse than it already is. But his career willl likely be rearranged.

Gripping story.

Gripping story.

It was brand-spanking new a few hours ago.

[Copper]

The New Yorker isn't the only game in town, he could still do expository writing elsewhere.

And freshly waxed.

I think we’ve beaten this story to death.

Yes, at this point it's rather limp...
