The parents of a mortified 15-year-old have been granted small compensation by a German TV station after they appeared unpixellated on a sex show.

Due to a production mistake, the parents - who voluntarily went to a sex club and knew that they would be filmed - appeared unpixellated, with the teen girl's father dressed as Batman while holding a sex toy and her mother dressed in stockings and suspenders while inside a cage.

Yep, we can see why that might be embarrassing to explain to your classmates in school the next day...

"I wouldn’t want be in your shoes,” the presiding judge told the parents as they sought full compensation from German TV station RTL, according to the Süddeutsche. "That's simply embarrassing."

In the end, the fact that the parents appeared voluntarily and that the pixellation mistake was deemed an honest one meant that the parents were not entitled to full compensation. However, they RTL and the production team of the show were ordered to give the better small damages and pay for the €3,000 cost of their legal fees.

Perhaps they should have chipped in for some psychological evaluation for the poor teen too, eh?
