From clips I've seen of Stephen Colbert's terrible show, this short Phillie Phanatic Kiss Cam bit is far more entertaining than anything Colbert does. I don't think the mascot gets paid $15 million.

Andy Byron should not have muddied his apology with a swipe at Coldplay. It reads like PR people wrote the first three paragraphs and he tacked on the fourth.

I also want to express how troubling it is that what should have been a private moment became public without my consent. I respect artists and entertainers, but I hope we can all think more deeply about the impact of turning someone else's life into a spectacle.

No, that doesn't fly.

Tickets to concerts and sporting events usually include a disclaimer stating you grant organizers permission to use your image. Byron likely did give his consent.

Bottom line: If Byron and his HR director Kristin Cabot wanted to keep their relationship private, they used terrible judgement when they chose to act that way in public.
