Comcast Apologizes For Super Bowl Porn Glitch
DrinkDr.Pepper writes "Just after the last touchdown by the Cardinals, with 3 minutes to go in the game, approximately 30 seconds of pornographic material was shown, seen by an unknown number of Comcast customers in Tucson, Arizona who were watching the game in standard definition. Comcast has apologized (they used the word 'mortified') and is issuing a $10 credit to any customer who claims to have been impacted. Various news accounts suggest that the incident was a malicious act, but no one knows how it was done or by whom."
Tyler Durden strikes again!
First time I'll have been paid to watch porn.
Comcast needn't have apologised for broadcasting porn. What did warrant an apology was showing porn containing nothing more than an ugly guy flapping his cock all over the place. You, sirs, have crossed the line!
Spelling mistakes, grammatical errors, and stupid comments are intentional.
I'll show you 30 seconds of full male nudity for $10.
Give me Classic Slashdot or give me death!
Knowing Comcast, I'm surprised they didn't bill everyone for the whole Pay-Per-View movie!

And somewhere in that mess, someone was enjoying some porno only to have their fantasy broken by the defensive line of the Cardinals.

Can we get a link to the Porn?
I googled "Porn" and nothing came up.
Christ, grow up, and pull the stick out of your ass already.
He can't. He's nailed to it.
You're doing it wrong.

I had to watch 30 seconds of Super Bowl right inbetween my porn. That's so not cool Comcast.
All around, it was a rather embarrassing year to be watching the Superbowl with the family.
You mean, more embarrassing than all the other years you watched a bunch of big sweaty guys in tights slapping each other on the ass for hours?
"You're right," Fisheye says. "I should have set it on 'whip' or 'chop.'"
They're just showing what the sportscasters were watching anyways. "Check out that penetration!" "Yeah John, you can see the backfield has been totally violated." "If he got his hands on that ball, he would have scored for sure."
See, that movie wasn't all that ridiculous. That is probably what happened. Some 'Zero Cool' dude must have hacked into the network and changed the channel!

As an accounting major, I am just doing the math: 30 seconds of pr0n equals $10 dollars...so, that's $20 a minute and $1200 dollars an hour. By my calculations, I can watch two hours of pr0n each month and be able to pay my tuition instead of taking student loans. What a country!!!
Trust him.
Once he has seen the time-consuming, noisy, loud and dirty results that started appearing 9 months after the "insertion", he'll never ever be even interested in inserting his penis anywhere.

Maybe you should tell your family this isn't the Victorian era anymore.

I'm just waiting for someone to post a link to a 30 second long clip of the Super Bowl that ends with no porn.
BOWLROLLED!

was that during the game or the penis flash?

With Madden talking about penetration and strong man hands the whole time I'm surprised anybody even noticed.
I would have claimed developing a porn addiction and demanded free porn for the rest of the year.
Most amusing was, after they cut back to the SuperBowl, you hear Madden saying "He went to the perfect guy, in the perfect situation."
When I was 17 my father said the following: "the reason God made kids so cute is so people would have more than one of them before they turned into teenagers."
You better watch out, there may be dogs about . .
I don't get it, what's so bad about some superb owl porn?
To do something right, you often have to roll up your sleeves and get busy.
"Who here that has a penis ISN'T interested in inserting it everywhere?"
But does it blend? Oh wait!

Taken down for TOS violation. Was it because it was porn or because it was rebroadcasting the superbowl?
