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."
to get my lotion from the cabinet. I am mortified.
Who the heck needs lotion to do that?!
:/
Actually- don't answer, I just figured that one out. While growing up (pre-widespread Internet), it wasn't something I'd been aware of- and having tried it with lubrication once or twice, I found it didn't add anything and certainly wasn't necessary.
Yet- even via jokey comments like this- it seemed like a lot of guys online connected the two in a way that suggested it was an everyday thing and culturally normal.
Then it clicked- if I'd had my foreskin cut off at birth, the... uh, mechanics of masturbation would be significantly less comfortable without some form of lubricant. And unlike the society I grew up in, Internet forums are dominated by Americans.
The answer- I'm guessing that the majority of men who feel the need to use lubricant are circumcised or at least grew up in a culture where that was the norm.
Sorry if I icked anyone out with that one, but it was one of those "of course!" moments of enlightenment I felt that I had to share
What were we talking about again?
In refrence to your sig: I'm in Canada, so I can decrypt it all I want! :P
