Super Bowl broadcast interrupted with porn
Someone managed to hijack the Tucson, Arizona cablecast of yesterday's Super Bowl and slip 10 seconds of porn on the air. From CNN:
"We are mortified by last evening's Super Bowl interruption, and deeply apologize to our customers for the inappropriate programming," Comcast Cable said in a written statement."Porn airs during Super Bowl" (CNN.com) TMZ has a clip of the, er, boner (TMZ.com)
"Our initial investigation suggests this was an isolated malicious act," the statement added.

Was it Superporn though?
So you've seen that pic of MVP Santonio Holmes?
"'when the NBC feed of the Super Bowl was transmitted from KVOA to local cable providers and through over-the-air antennas, there was no pornographic material,' KVOA President and General Manager Gary Nielsen said in a separate statement."
That explains the lack of this desirable material here in Bisbee. The little guy always gets screwed!
I did wonder why Larry Fitzgerald's eyes were so big as he ran into the end zone watching the Jumbotron.
Gizmodo has the vid (NSFW, obviously): http://i.gizmodo.com/5144199/comcast-tucson-airs-graphic-porn-during-super-bowl-nsfw
It's... not so much erotic as it's kind of silly/juvenile, IMO.
I spent years trying to get Comcast to improve their network so they'd make five times as much money with the same infrastructure and simultaneously provide me with better service.
After six years or so, though, I gave up and now I'm on Verizon FiOS.
Comcast's basic problem is they are too greedy to hire anyone skillful enough to fix their problems. They need to offer six figures and uncapped bandwidth, then they'd get some talent. They make less money than they could, because they are too cheap to pay for the quality of staff they need in order to maximize their profit... now FiOS is eating their lunch.

Tyler Durden exists! YAY!
Now when is the credit system going to be set to zero with extreme prejudice?

Literally it was 10 seconds of a man wagging his wang. If that doesn't echo "Project Mayhem" and "splicing single frames of pornography into family films", you're sorely lacking observation and association skills.
What's juvenile is that this was at best a copycat, like "starting a real fight club" (aka the blind leading the blind in reinventing martial arts). What's next, Steve Martin's non-conformist oath?

I live in Tucson and have comcast, didn't see this though. Kind of upset I missed it.
oh, it didn't come on the hi-def broadcast, that's why I didn't see it.
so, who are they?
They have Comcast in Tucson? Poor Tucson.
We have Cox in Phoenix. They're much less evil than Comcast, and I've never had a problem.
waggle waggle waggle
typical sexism, a flash of boob and everyone picks up their stones, a waggle of a big cock and all you get is a sigh.
Sounds like they had cocks in Tucson too, at least for a few seconds... ;-)
That'll teach 'em to complain about nipples.
I didn't know about this until today in a meeting. Guess you don't get porn on the HD feed in Tucson.
Omigod, I thought I was the only one who saw that! What a relief, at first I thought it was just weird, but then I started feeling really traumatized by it.
Bruce Springsteen had NO RIGHT to do that to me. I don't care how famous or fast-moving your crotch is, that doesn't make it okay.
The guy is Evan Stone who I've had the opportunity to meet a few times and can tell you that he's probably the nicest and funniest guy in porn. I bet he got a good laugh out of this.
No clue who the chick is.
Yeah, but it would have been funnier if it had been Ron Jeremy.
I live in Tucson, and it was not on the over-the-air KVOA broadcast. My boss lives in Oro Valley, one of the hinterlands served by Comcast. His hi-def TVs didn't see it, but the old analog ones did, including one in the garage where a family was watching the game while playing pool. Hilarity ensued.
Good Lord, I blogged this item myself, and I struggled for an hour to come up with puns, but came up dry. I can't believe I missed the obvious "boner." Sheesh.
Hmmm....hijacking or a cross-channel switching error from PPV?
I can't be the only one who thinking : finally!
It's 2009 already - where's all the guerrilla media hacking we've been waiting for since reading Gibson, Mondo 2000, -episodes of 20 minutes into the future,etc. So far all we got is The Yes Men and billboard altering. I mean, that's cool and great, but c'mon, where's the pirate commandeering of TV satellites, pie in the face entropy ruining Fox news broadcasts and bad prime time sitcoms? Where's the Tyler Durdens and Turk 182s?
Ah well, maybe it's all gone the way of hover cars, holographic displays, android house keepers and giant wheel space stations.
Having said that, it could very well BE a PPV switching glitch.
The most important thing we should take from this is, everyone make sure my wife doesn't see that clip. Thank you.
