It makes more sense seeing the whole video, but my views on the matter have not changed.
I agree, I wouldn’t have done it - but at least it shows that Maryam’s explanation was genuine, and there was no intent there to insult the viewer. I stand by the view that it was unwise, however.
When I first saw the original clip, I was very shocked (and I don’t think of myself as a “sensitive viewer”). It’s just not something you expect to see on the NC in any context and, originally, it did appear as though it was intended for the viewer - in a way that other gaffes in the past clearly haven’t been, so in a sense are more forgivable or explainable as mistakes.
