Comcast Accidentally Airs Porn During Super Bowl

If you were watching the Super Bowl in Tucson, Arizona, you might have seen some unwarranted genitalia. A porn clip was aired just after the Cardinals’ final touchdown, forcing Comcast to investigate what they called “an isolated malicious attack.”

In Tucson, Arizona, some Super Bowl viewers got hit by 30 seconds of porn infiltrating their TV just after Cardinals receiver Larry Fitzgerald caught his last touchdown pass in the fourth quarter. The affected neighbourhood includes around 80,000 homes, but it is difficult to find out which TVs were tuned to the Super Bowl.

The clip from cable show “Club Jenna” displays a woman sitting on a couch with porn actor Evan Stone. The two struggle to disrobe Stone. He pulls his pants down and twists from side to side, exposing his penis, and then the game comes back on.

Comcast said the interruption affected the standard definition broadcast. DigitalJournal.com obtained a copy of their released statement, which said:
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. Comcast promised to investigate this case further to find out who is responsible for the broadcast malfunction.

In an interview with DigitalJournal.com, Comcast spokesperson Jenne Moyer said “we are conducting a very comprehensive extensive investigation of our internal systems as well as points outside the systems.” She added the “early investigation revealed an intentional malicious act and we will find out how it happened.”

There are also unconfirmed report that Comcast will compensate affected viewers with a $10 one-time discount. Moyer responded by saying they don’t have any details on how much they will compensate subscribers, but Comcast will likely offer “a proactive automatic credit.”

Supposedly, the feed originated with NBC local affiliate KVOA in Tucson and traveled via a fiber optic line to the Cox Cable Company. It then sent the feed through a separate line to Comcast. Both KVOA and Cox say the problem lies with Comcast, because the KVOA feed was porn-free when it left the station, Cox executives said.
