Comcast Pays Super Bowl Porn Viewers $10 Not to Say Anything

By Roy Edroso, Tuesday, Feb. 3 2009 @ 12:20PM

As you may have heard, Comcast customers in the Tucson area who were watching Sunday's Super Bowl were exposed, right after about James Harrison's spectacular pickoff, to 30 seconds of a transmission from adult cable station Club Jenna in which a female performer extricated a penis from a man's pants, and the man "shook some air" into the member before viewers were returned to the game. (Shown above, an obscured video of the cock-shaking action in situ; full-out porn version here.)

Be aware, America, that Comcast is "appalled this highly inappropriate material was displayed for some Comcast customers," believes it was "a malicious act of an isolated nature," and is investigating, as is KVOA, the local NBC affiliate, to whom Cardinals fan Lorraine Ferrick said the penile interlude made her "sick to my stomach" and that she wanted someone to go to jail for it.

Ms. Ferrick may or may not be satisfied to learn that she and all customers who have been "impacted" (their word) by the porn has been offered a $10 credit by Comcast, reports the Tucson Citizen.

This wouldn't be the first time Comcast aired porn unexpected during another program. A few years ago, a kid in New Jersey I think it was was watching Handy Manny on Disney Channel when porn abruptly started airing, much to the father's disgust.

The funny and ironic thing is that the other cable company in town is Cox. Yet the cocks were on Comcast.

It was actually after Larry Fitzgerald ran in for a touchdown (not Harrison's interception).

Wow...$10 off of your $60 cable bill! Comcast is really going the EXTRA MILE to make up for their staggering incompetence. If they really wanted to make things up to viewers, they could refuse to air any more "male enhancement" ads. (Of course, that would eliminate 95% of their ad revenue.)

I’d say of all the Super Bowl “ads”, the 30-second spot Club Jenna got for free in Tucson was the most effective.
