Certain Comcast subscribers had their Super Bowl telecast interrupted by a 30 second clip of a pornography movie. As a famous judge once said when pressed for his definition of porn, “I know it when I see it,”, the recipients of the accidental transmission were fully aware this was no football game, despite the fact the man on the screen appeared to be hunched over center, barking out signals and awaiting the snap from the naked, floppy breasted center. Several back judges were in the foreground lugging around metal chains.
The FCC picked up on the mistake and immediately placed a call to Comcast’s Head of Operations. He was in a men’s room stall unavailable for comment other than to utter, “Ohhh yeah, ohhhh.”
Some viewers were still able to see the game, but had the audio of the porn film dubbed over the announcers voices. Apparently John Madden and Al Michaels were discussing the game in the booth during those 30 seconds, so millions of people went to bed that evening believing that Madden and Michaels were gay lovers who planned to wrestle in a pit filled with ostrich urine and then employ extra long sexual instruments to see if they could set a world record for deepest penetration.
Comcast operators were besieged by angry customers, demanding to know how this happened, and why it occurred to only certain customers and not to themselves. The employee who had actual control of the video board that evening said he realized the glitch right away, but waited 30 seconds to lift the film so he could “finish up with some unattended business.” Comcast has made an official apology to those who were offended by the film and said those who did not get a chance to watch it will have the next episode of the Brady Bunch interrupted by a snuff film where two hookers are quartered and hung from a tree by their epiglottises.
