Prank of the Year: Comcast Tucson Airs Graphic Porn During Super Bowl (NSFW)
By John Herrman, 5:08 AM on Mon Feb 2 2009, 214,525 views
Tucson, Arizona was probably not the best place to watch the game last night. Partly because of the disappointing result, but mostly because of the huge, flapping penis.

With under three minutes left and just after Larry Fitzgerald's heroic comeback(ish) touchdown for the Cardinals, the video feed abruptly switched to a scene from stablemate channel Club Jenna, treating viewers to the sight of seemingly omnipresent porn guy Evan Stone swinging his junk around like a maniac. This interlude lasted about 30 seconds.

Comcast told the Arizona Daily Star that engineers have been "working throughout the night" to figure out what happened, but haven't yet come up with an explanation. It could have been a simple case of human error, but given just how wrong it all went, I'd put my money on a disgruntled outgoing employee. Video of the event below, obviously NSFW.

Either someone was getting revenge for getting canned, or it was one hell of a 1337 prank. I don't think Comcast meant it to happen, but someone did, cause super bowl channels don't automatically swich to porn by themselves. Either way, they're still going to catch major flak for this, lol.

What is sad is that people jump to conclusions.

From the Arizona Daily Star message board:

• This was disgusting and heads should roll. I would love to have someone come and explain this to my first grade students tomorrow! I am canceling my Comcast subscription tomorrow and I hope that all the other Comcast members do also. — jammie s. (densan), February 1,2009 @ 8:36PM

• OMG! I am SOOO angry about this. I don't think I will be watching the super bowl anymore. I had just called my teenaged daughter in to have her watch the replay of the last play. And then that comes on. I am furious. And it kinda kept you watching cuz you were thinking, 'ok, this HAS to be part of a really bad commerical' — Ann C. (backroadsann), February 1,2009 @ 8:41PM

• I had a 2 and a 7 year-old in the room and it was totally disgusting. Comcast better get ready to give all subscribers at least one free month of service for having to be subject to this filth! — Lisa D. (lisamb27), February 1,2009 @ 8:42PM

I mean, do these people think Comcast was doing this intentionally? One month free service? Ugh! Thieves.

That was a marketing ploy to show their HD channel, only I don't think they wanted to show THAT HD channel. o_o

my god people overreact. Oh no! not 30 secs of penis! Those people complaining about having their kids in the room could have just changed the channel or covered their kids eyes or something... Besides, its not like seeing a dick is going to scar them for life. And for the male kids... Im sure they could probably look away on their own. Cancelling comcast is a bit drastic imo.

I wish I could have seen that.

Oh well, I can always find clips of Yolanda on the Price is Right (the incident where her tube top fell off).

It just seems to me people need to stop being uptight yeah they shouldn't have shown a penis but come on its not like the had an orgy on the screen for 30 seconds or something like that LOL Anyways didn't one of Janet Jackson's boobs come out at one of the super bowls a few years ago? It seems to me they want to throw in some controversy ever so often so everyone remembers that year ^_^
