"Kiss Cam," you say? Immediately reminded me of the quote variously attributed to the great Cubs announcer Harry Carey or legendary Cardinals pitcher and uh...wordsmith...Dizzy Dean, who announced the CBS Game of the Week with Dodger great Pee Wee Reese. In either case, during lulls in the action over several innings, a camera would pan the crowd and pick up a couple in the stands kissing.

Don't interrupt me while I'm being hoisted by my own petard.
Interestingly -- or not -- a petard is a bomb, not some kind of winch. But you knew that.
