Astrophysicist Apologizes for Choice of Shirt: I Made a ‘Big Mistake’
‘I made a big mistake and I offended many people and I am very sorry about this’
Rosetta mission scientist Dr Matt Taylor cries during apology over 'offensive' shirt (The Daily Telegraph)
He helped mankind land on a comet, but Dr Matt Taylor may end up being remembered for his risqué sartorial judgement rather than his scientific acumen.
The space scientist broke down in tears today and apologised for wearing a gaudy shirt which featured cartoon images of women wearing bondage gear and firing guns.
During a press briefing this afternoon on the progress of the Rosetta mission, Dr Taylor, the lead scientist, appeared visibly upset and struggled to speak.
Eventually he said: “I made a big mistake and I offended many people and I am very sorry about this."
