Super Bowl XXX: Porn Interrupts Tucson Broadcast
Super Bowl XLIII
Super Bowl viewers in Tucson, Ariz., saw a different kind of action during Sunday night's game: KVOA TV's broadcast of the Super Bowl was interrupted for approximately 10 seconds by a porn clip in homes with Comcast cable.
"We are mortified by last evening's Super Bowl interruption and we apologize to our customers," Comcast said in a statement. "Our initial investigation suggests this was an isolated malicious act. We are conducting a thorough investigation to determine how this happened."
The company says the standard-definition feed, but not the high-definition one, was disrupted by the X-rated clip, which featured full-frontal male nudity. "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.
The interruption occurred shortly after the Arizona Cardinals' Larry Fitzgerald scored a touchdown reception in the final minutes of the game. Feel free to make your own "going deep" jokes.
