Jordanian MP caught going for goal

Footage of a Jordanian lawmaker playing a video game on his mobile phone during a speech by Prime Minister Abdullah Ensour in parliament, made it to the Internet Friday, garnering tens of thousands of views.

The unidentified MP was caught by an amateur photographer playing a virtual soccer game, enthusiastically swiping his finger on the screen in an effort to score goals.

At one point in the video the legislator, who doesn’t realize he is being filmed, even appears to be boasting of his goal-scoring prowess to a colleague sitting next to him.
