Ruin? Sorry, I meant make it better. In an NHK broadcast on the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, a staffer accidentally walked into frame and into Japanese internet fame.
Throughout the day, images of this incident have been appearing on various Japanese blogs and 2ch, the country's biggest forum.
It's getting remixes and YouTube tributes (here and here).
Of course, the GIF version above is an endlessly looping cycle of embarrassment.
