Porn Clip Interrupts Super Bowl

Tyler Durden Strikes again:

KVOA-TV in Tucson said its broadcast of the Super Bowl was interrupted for some customers by about 10 seconds of pornographic material. The only viewers who were able to see the material were those who receive the channel through Comcast cable. Comcast spokeswoman Tracy Baumgartner confirmed that the company’s standard feed was interrupted during the Super Bowl, although she said its high definition feed was not.

“So when the snooty cat, and the courageous dog, with the celebrity voices meet for the first time in reel three, that’s when you’ll catch a flash of Tyler’s contribution to the Superbowl”

Update

The performers in the “video”, in case you were wondering, were male performer Evan Stone and female performer Tristan Kingsley. The clip is from Club Jenna’s 18 ‘n’ Up Wet Poons a video repackaged originally from another film by the name of Wild Cherries 5. Great opportunity and a great deal on an ad spot. Everybody else pays millions of dollars for a spot while these two paid nothing.

Comcast Apologizes:

Comcast is examining whether a malicious attack is behind the interruption of the company’s Super Bowl coverage Sunday by a pornographic film in some areas of Tucson. The interruption, which lasted less than 30 seconds, affected customers watching the company’s standard definition coverage but not high-definition customers, a Comcast spokeswoman said.

An initial review showed that the company’s technical systems functioned properly at the time of the incident, suggesting someone deliberately seeking to interrupt the broadcast rather than a technical glitch. The station from which Comcast picked up its feed was NBC affiliate KVOA, which said it provided Cox Communications with a feed of the broadcast via fiber line, which Cox subsequently sent to Comcast, also via a fiber line. KVOA said on its Web site that only Comcast customers saw the pornographic images and that customers of other operators, like DirecTV Group and Cox Communications, as well as over-the-air viewers, received “clean feeds.”

The Comcast spokeswoman said it was not immediately apparent how or where the breach occurred. Cable signals pass through several pieces of transmission facilities, including out to an operator’s local offices and to customers ‘ homes. This is the first time the company is aware of its signal being tampered with in this way, the Comcast spokeswoman said.

Well, this certainly beats out Janet Jackson in terms of explicitness. However, we would prefer a half second of Janet’s boob to multiple seconds of Evan Stone’s swinging schlong. Why couldn’t Tristan have at least been undressed?

If this was truly a hack, it is the most fascinating pirate operation since the Max Headroom/CBS incident.

Comcast offers $10 credit to Tucson customers who saw Super Bowl porn:

The pornographic content that interrupted thousands of local Comcast subscribers’ Super Bowl broadcast was the result of an “isolated malicious act,” a company spokeswoman said Monday. But company officials have yet to determine how that act was committed, spokeswoman Kelle Maslyn said, though any sort of equipment malfunction has been ruled out. In light of the incident, Comcast says it will issue a $10 credit to any customers who say they viewed the 30-second clip, which featured full male nudity.

It is still unclear how many viewers saw the clip, from a porn movie being shown on Shorteez, an adult cable channel offered by Comcast on a pay-per-view basis. Only Comcast subscribers who received a standard definition signal could see the clip, while those who watched the game on high-definition televisions were not affected, Maslyn said. Both Club Jenna and Shorteez are channels offered by Spice Entertainment, according to the Playboy TV Network’s Web site.
