SPORTSbyBROOKS.com shares the story of Comcast cable subscribed-televisions in Tucson being exposed (pun intended) to a porn clip during the live broadcast of Super Bowl XLIII last Sunday.
TMZ.com describes the story:
Super Bowl fans in Tucson, Ariz. were subjected to 30 seconds of hard core porn — wang and all — when somehow, the game feed was suddenly interrupted by a clip from an adult television channel.
Yes, this actually happened.
Comcast — the cable company in Tucson — is working on an explanation, but right now it appears the porn break-in only occurred in its standard-definition feed reaching analog TV sets.
Fortunately — or unfortunately, depending on your taste — high def viewers were spared the wiener shot.
UPDATE: Comcast just released this statement: “We are mortified by last evening’s Super Bowl interruption and we apologize to our customers. Our initial investigation suggests this was an isolated malicious act. We are conducting a thorough investigation to determine who was behind this.”
Somewhere right now the DirecTV ad office is streamlining a new campaign to persuade TV viewers to choose satellite over cable:
“Go with DirecTV and never worry about your Super Bowl experience being interrupted by someone’s Johnson. That’s our promise.”
In all seriousness, this had to be horrible if you were a parent watching the game with a young child. I could only imagine the mad dash for the remote control when the porno came on. Un-real.
