Porn interupts Superbowl

TV coverage of America's Superbowl football match was interrupted for some viewers by snippets of pornography.

Those watching a Tucson television station's broadcast of the game yesterday were given a 10-second segment of a woman performing a sex act on a man.

KVOA TV today said the only viewers who were able to see the material were those who receive the channel through a cable provider.

The station said it would investigate the incident.

"When the NBC feed of the Superbowl was transmitted from KVOA to local cable providers and through over-the-air antennas, there was no pornographic material," station general manager Gary Nielsen said.

The station said it was dismayed and disappointed that some customers and their families were subjected to the material.

"KVOA will continue to investigate what happened to our clean signal and make sure our viewers get answers," it said.

A spokeswoman for cable company Comcast confirmed that the company's standard feed was interrupted during the Superbowl, although she said its high definition feed was not.

Tucson media reported that they received calls from irate viewers about the pornographic material.

Joel Hilander of Tucson said he and his young children saw the clip.

"I couldn't believe it. And I couldn't believe that my children were watching it either," he said.

He said the interruption came just after the Arizona Cardinals' Larry Fitzgerald scored on a long touchdown reception during the final minutes of the game.

god, if only there were some way to alter which program the television was showing, or to terminate it's broadcast on the user's end. maybe the manufacturers should look into implementing some sort of mechanism for altering the current program, or a lever of some kind which could turn even turn the machine off.

Someone should definately go to jail for that. Having said that, the video wasn't as bad as I thought. Two naked adults acting stupid.... not actually engaged in a sexual act. I imagine that would be easier to explain away. Definately not saying it's ok, someone should definately do some serious time for that little stunt. Just glad it wasn't 10 seconds of "reverse cowgirl" like someone mentioned earlier. Not sure how the hell you'd explain that away to little kids.
