Milwaukee Bucks trolled for 'Hand Sanitizer Cam', Internet says it looks like 'money shot in a porn video'

Those watching the game at home realized that the Hand Sanitizer Cam may not be the best idea to replace the Kiss Cam

Perhaps not all the measures that are taken to replace old norms to fit in with the current situation — the Covid-19 pandemic — are good, as was proven by the NBA's latest introduction of the "Hand Sanitizer Cam". This replaced the Kiss Cam for in-arena entertainment as Denver Nuggets faced off against Milwaukee Bucks. The alternative may have been included with good intentions, but social media is questioning whether approving authorities have thought through their new concept of Hand Sanitizer Cam.

When fans returned to the Fiserv Forum to watch their teams, they were introduced to the new concept. When fans appear on the Hand Sanitizer Cam, an animation of a giant hand sanitizer appears on the side of the screen, which then squirts out what is presumably hand sanitizer at those pictured. As a result, many fans either chose not to react at all or by rubbing their hands together as they took part in what would have initially appeared to be good fun. That is until social media came into the picture.

One user jokingly tweeted, "Cancel Pornhub, NBA is taking over." Another wrote, "Whoever greenlit the Milwaukee Bucks hand sanitizer cam either watches porn all day long or has never watched any porn. I can’t decide which it is," and followed up with, "It’s also possible every guy they showed this too to get feedback was terrified he’d get fired for sexual harassment if he mentioned it looked like a money shot in a porn video."

One user pointed out, "Somehow the Hand Sanitizer Cam at NBA games is hornier than the Kiss Cam." Another tweeted, "You sure that's hand sanitizer? Looks more like a porno channel." Some wondered why the content was not flagged, with one user writing, "Did they not realize this hand sanitizer cam was launching simulated white ropes onto women's faces and chests? Who the fuck thought this was a good idea? I know that sex sells but DAMN..."
