Ahh, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos. Billionaire entrepreneur, the “Stonks” man incarnate, and the proud owner of a giant johnson-shaped rocket? Despite having a supervillain-level net worth of roughly $200.7 billion, according to Forbes, it seems Bezos still apparently enjoys the cheap thrill of a good ‘ol dick joke, a jest so massive, it singlehandedly prompted two Australian news anchors to absolutely lose their shit on national television.
While reporting on Bezos’s upcoming trip to space this July through his aerospace company, Blue Origin, Australia’s Today show hosts Allison Langdon and Karl Stefanovic could hardly keep their focus, erm, erect, after laying eyes on the bizarrely-shaped vessel set to launch the exec into the stratosphere. “Rockets everywhere this morning!” said Langdon with a chuckle, eyeballing the image of the rocket behind her. “Well outdoing his fellow billionaires in the race to space, Amazon boss Jeff Bezos will blast into orbit next month”
“Do you know what they call that?” Stefanovic muses, staring intently at the spaceship.
“A rocket,” Langdon quips.
“They call it Blue Origin,” he jokes, barely keeping it together. “Does that look a little odd to you, or is that just me?”
