We now interrupt the Super Bowl for some porn


Good thing this happened in Arizona where no one was watching the game.

From ESPN:
TUCSON, Ariz. -- A cable television provider apologized Monday to Tucson-area customers over a 30-second porn interruption during the Super Bowl.

Philadelphia-based Comcast issued a brief statement saying the company was "mortified" by the interruption.

"Our initial investigation suggests this was an isolated malicious act," Jennifer Khoury, Comcast's vice president for corporate communications, said. "We are conducting a thorough investigation to determine how this happened."

The company says only customers in the Tucson area receiving the standard definition feed -- not high definition -- were affected.

Comcast has some 80,000 customers in unincorporated portions of Pima County, Marana and Oro Valley, but a company spokeswoman, Kelle Maslyn, declined to say how many standard definition customers there are or how many of those customers may have been watching the game.
