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."

    now Mailman is a much better response than Alcohol. Because we ALL know there are no married mailmen.

    That must be it.
    All married men stop having sex after the first child.
    All subsequent children are fathered by mailmen.
    No Married man has an interest in sex after the first child... therefore
    All Mailmen are single.

    That makes perfect sense. I knew the mailmen who delivered the mail here (I'm on a training route) and were wearing wedding rings, were only wearing them to attract women... although married men don't have sex and we've established that... well, they must be wearing their fake wedding rings to scare off... something.
