A story that I have been following for a few days now is the story about the porn clip that some Comcast subscribers saw during 30 seconds of the Super Bowl. After Larry Fitzgerald scored the go ahead touchdown for the Cardinals some cable subscribers in Arizona saw their screen flash to a scene from a porno. Apparently this 'glitch' took place in the non-HD broadcast and the HD broadcasts ran as scheduled.
Some people with children are very affected by this as that can lead to a very awkward situation when watching the game as a family. I even understand why some groups of grown men may be upset with the clip because it took away from some of the game broadcast. What I don't understand is the grown adults who say they are offended by the porn that was shown
Come on people it is time to grow up, most adults have sex and that is nothing to be ashamed of. The porn star who stared in this movie, Wild Cherries 5, agrees with me as she said,"You know what? We all have sex. If we're an adult, guaranteed we've all seen a penis at some point," she said. "I'm sorry to all the parents, other than that we're all grown adults."
Comcast is offering those who complain a ten dollar credit towards their monthly bill. If you ask me this is a pretty weak attempt by Comcast to shut up those who do have viable complaints about what took place during the game. If I was watching this with my young children I would want an apology or and explanation from Comcast as opposed to their cheap discount in an attempt to salvage my business.
This is a story that I plan on keeping an eye on so that I can find out exactly how this took place during the most watched television event of the year. The details of how this stunt was pulled off should be interesting ones to find out about.
