Serious government press conference turns awkward
Updated | By Breakfast with Martin Bester
A serious press conference blooper left the world talking - and Martin Bester is getting in on the fun!
The Provincial Information Minister from a province in the north-west of Pakistan talked to local journalists at a press conference recently. However, the public did not focus on what was said, but rather the rogue filter which took over.
The press conference was live streamed on social media as cat ears and whiskers appeared on the minister’s face. Before the filter was removed, it trended on social media and the entire world got to see the blooper.
It was later deleted off the political party’s official page.

Tehreek-e-Insaf on Twitter posted: 'All necessary actions have been taken to avoid such incident in future with a great emphasis on strict enforcement of SOP and protocol for live coverage by the ground teams.'

Pakistan tehreek e insaf social media team is deemed to be the pioneers of social media in Pakistan. We not only price power cells in bringing Pakistani politics to internet but also feel content in setting high standards of SOPs#PTISMT

Martin Bester wanted to get in on the fun and make this Tuesday morning less serious, so he filmed his morning video with a cat filter!
