A couple was caught getting (ahem) extra friendly on the red carpet in Cannes, France. We can only imagine what would have happened to them if this happened during the famous Cannes International Film Festival.

David Griner, managing editor of AdWeek tweeted a picture of a couple having sex in the open on the red carpet during the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity on Monday. The picture looks particularly funny, since a video board above them reads, “Will See You In The Morning!”

Griner’s tweet went viral, with over 300 retweets and 250 favorites.

While it would be nice to think that this was a spontaneous act, The Mirror notes that some think it was just a staged scene. The festival is all about advertising and creative agencies, so that sounds plausible. Twitter user Cole Orloff replied to Griner, “We're gonna feel like idiots when we find out this is a staged marketing stunt.”

There’s no word on whether or not the woman was wearing Cannes-approved footwear.
