With Daft Punk in town shooting some video (hopefully involving mom jeans) in midtown yesterday, we got into a discussion with coworkers about how no one has seen what the titular duo look like without their helmets on in over a decade. Electronic duo the Knocks coincidentally decided that yesterday was the perfect time to post a photo of them sans robotics. And of course—of course—they're playing "champagne beer pong," the sport of Mariah Carey.
As Gawker points out, The Knocks quickly realized their faux pas, and deleted the photo—they updated their status with: "GUESS WE WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO POST THAT PIC :X." While Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter basically look exactly how we always imagined (ie, slightly more rumpled Vincent Cassel), the "champagne beer pong" (which really is champagne pong, right?) is what kills us.
Then again, considering the fact that they are basically keeping their record label in business, Columbia should probably do whatever they can to appease the French artists—if that means they have to break out the fancy pink cookies, then so be it.
