I'm sure it's already written and rehearsed...

We were just enjoying the tree lighting festivities and playfully hugging on camera like people do. We didn't know they were broadcasting about a serious news story. We are too busy working all day to watch the news and had NO IDEA about the incident in question, and we certainly didn't know what we were doing could somehow be seen as mocking such a terrible incident. We were definitely not doing that. No way. We are completely innocent and were just trying to play funny-folks in the background of a live broadcast. We thought the reporter must be talking about the cold weather or the tree lighting.... etc etc
