Not to go out of my way to completely impress you all, but I used to be something of a big shot at an Atlanta supermarket. I know; it's pretty embarrassing how important that makes me. One of my bosses, the store's assistant manager in fact, used to spend his nights on the clock sitting in the security room, using the store's overhead cameras to keep an eye on female customers.
Whenever he'd close the store, I'd open the next morning and find all the cameras tuned to the wine aisle like sentry towers. His theory: single women like wine. Nobody was sad when he was fired.
Tuesday night during Game 4 between the Miami Heat and Chicago Bulls, a lonely TNT camera operator employed some sort of similar strategy, being caught red-handed on air when the broadcast came back from the halftime break (video via @jose3030):
You're crazy if you don't think that happens during every gathering at which cameras with powerful zoom lenses are involved. I'm not condoning such an activity by any means, but I am investing in umbrellas and sweaters for my daughter's next trip to a televised sporting event.
