A North Carolina TV weatherman recently found himself delivering the news with a pair of cartoon googly eyes plastered over his face after he accidentally activated Facebook's facial filters before going live.
But hey, maybe he was just trying to make the news exciting again.
According to a Facebook post he made after the fact, right before he went live on the social media site, he "somehow activated a filter generator."
However, Hinton brushed the problem off and said "it would probably go away soon."
Well, it didn't.
The live segment, which lasted just over one minute, sees Hinton become bombarded with various cartoon looks, including googly eyes, a wizard hat, and a space helmet.
So he simply continued to deliver his serious weather report, even while sporting an adorable pair of kitty ears.
"Wait," he can be heard saying after he's moved off-screen, "did I have a weird face?"
After a long, revealing pause, Hinton says, "Oh, there are special effects on the phone."
Of course by then it was far too late.
On Facebook the video currently has nearly 4,000 reactions from people who are positively cracking up at poor Hinton's filter gaffe.
"Watched this happen live on Facebook and was very amused," one user commented. "This is the joy of live broadcasting, right?"
"If you can't laugh at yourself, what's the point of laughter?" he wrote online. "I hope you enjoyed the snow day, and remember to smile and laugh!"
