Coldplayed, Coldplaying, And More Fun To Come

      We now have more to thank Coldplay for than their vast and well-loved discography of poetic lyrics set to dynamic rhythms. For it's thanks to this iconic  pop/rock group, 

...specifically thanks to their front man Chris Martin,

...that the world discovered a new and wildly enjoyable past time which I'm officially christening (unless someone else has already beat me to it) as Coldplaying. Here's my definition:

       For the sake of the two or three earthlings who still haven't heard of the incident to which the above definition refers, here's the recap:
​     The male CEO of a big-name tech company was caught canoodling with the company's female chief of HR on the giant video screen, known as a jumbotron, that was sweeping the audience during  a Coldplay concert.
        When the jumbotron landed, by wildest random coincidence, on the CEO and the HR exec locked in a sweet embrace, their reaction, along Chris Martin's reaction to their reaction, was so comical that it caused the scene to go viral on social media, which  subsequently led to the two, who were  married to people other than each other, being busted.
      Here's the now infamous - and infamously comical - video of the event:     

    When it came out that the fleeing subjects were, in fact, cheating paramours caught in flagrante, the internet exploded with folks reenacting their own original  and hilariously-spun versions of the Coldplay jumbotron video, which soon thereafter added another new word (this one made up by someone other than myself) to the lexicon:

     In the days after the event went viral and Coldplaying became a thing, I found  my Facebook page pretty much highjacked by reels and images created and posted by these Coldplayers - and I found myself  LMAOing. 
      The number of videos and images that continually popped up on my Facebook feed were legion, but here's just a small sampling:

    And my favorite:

       Alas, the Coldplaying memes and videos have slowed to a trickle in the past few days, and I expect in a few more days they'll have dried up altogether. But I guess this kind of fun only lasts so long.
         Happily for us, though, there's some new fun in town.
