A Mexican news outlet has been ridiculed after it accidentally aired a man’s testicles while presenting viewer-submitted footage of Monday’s solar eclipse.

RCG Media was covering the eclipse with its anchors showing clips submitted by fans experiencing the celestial phenomenon — only to fall prey to a well-known prank in Latin America.

As the male host was listing the cities from where the eclipse could be seen, the viewers submitted clips on the left side of the screen cut to a man dipping his testicles into the frame, blocking out the sun.

One of the two female anchors could be heard gasping in shock while her male colleague carried on, ignoring the graphic image. The clip was quickly taken off the screen, with the male anchor explaining that the clips were submitted by viewers as he admitted that the fervour to include fans’ experiences can lead to embarrassing situations for broadcasters.

It is not uncommon for people to share clips of a so-called “testicular eclipse” online during a solar event, with such images previously shared during the 2019 eclipse in Chile.

Even Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee has gotten in on the risque gag, posting a similar video on his Instagram page before taking it down.

An X user with the handle ‘Rhevolver’ claimed responsibility for submitting the clip.

“Greetings to all my people from Saltillo who had to watch my eggs on television because those from @rcg_media neglected to review the video of the eclipse carefully.”

“I love them.”

We’re not going to be posting the clip here – nobody needs to see that on a Thursday – but if you are keen on seeing the total eclipse of Rhevolver’s testes, you can watch the NYPost video here.

Or as my kid would call it: A total eclipse of deez nuts.
