Obviously not everyone is good at humor. The CEO of the Australian pay-TV channel Foxtel, Patrick Delany, has just found out the hard way during the preview of House of the Dragonthe prequel series of Game of Thrones. Brought to make a presentation on the antenna and in public, he admitted to having been initially amazed by discovering Game of Thrones. “I thought to myself, ‘What is this series with this little piece of neglected woman coming out of the flames'”he said in a playful tone, referring to the khaleesi Daenerys Targaryen, played on screen by Emilia Clarke.
A reflection that threw a chill in the audience. “I had the impression that he expected us to laugh, but the people present were mostly shocked”revealed a witness.
Obviously, the social networks did not taste the joke either, so much so that the chain split a press release of apologies, specifying that the remarks were supposed to pay “in self-mockery and lightness”. We know one who won’t try to be funny the next time he speaks.
