Bayern Munich Kit Launch

Every summer many top professional football teams hold a press conference to unveil their new kits for the next season. For you those of you unfamiliar with the term kit, it's synonymous with the word uniform or jersey. Almost exclusively, select players from the team are chosen to wear the new kits and when called upon, walk onto the stage to show the press the new design(s). Typically, a kit launch (press conference) is a low-key affair.

That is, until Bayern Munich pulled this stunt. You'll be at a loss for words, as is much of the football world right now. Instead of their own players, they decided to take the "dramatic model who just left an Oktoberfest celebration approach". Wait for the 1:30 mark to see it all go terribly terribly wrong and stick it out to hear the deafening silence at the very end.
