Comcast Super Bowl Porn

Last night during the Super Bowl (was that last night?) lucky Arizona viewers received 10 free seconds of hard core porn. Comcast/ Super Bowl officials are denying this was actually a part of the planned Super Bowl events, but we all know better, don’t we? Those lucky devils.

I find it hilarious that during the biggest ad time in the US (the Super Bowl), porn ended up airing. Who do they charge for that? I mean, it’s like a mil a 30 second spot, right? That's going to be a lot of work to make that kind of money.  And by work I mean...

You know, if they played porn more often during the Super Bowl they’d finally add me to the viewing public. And what a demographic I'd be.  I’ll even offer the most creative of names for them to use: “Super Bowl Porn”. Sounds like a winner to me.

Note: I thought about doing some “ball” jokes for this, but decided I’d go the classy route, what with the advertising jokes and all. Because I’m classy like that. Super Bowl Porn classy.

hysterical! Both the porn and the article.
Phineas J. Feb 2, 2009, 9:10pm UTC
Yeah Bill, I too thought this was just a little too similar to Project Mayhem tactics to be a coincidence.

And thank you Donna. It's always nice to be appreciated. So I hear anyways...

Since I'm not paying the bill and have no children in the house, it's sort of funny. But we didn't see it.
Donna Tinus Feb 2, 2009, 11:33pm UTC
I didn't think about the kids, though. I guess that would NOT have been very funny in front of your kids.

I am sure it was better than the half time show!

Rather ironic that those of us with Cox Cable didn't get the porn...
Thankfully I might add, LOL. Take care.

I heard about this. That was very crazy!

They eased us in a few years ago with Janet Jackson nipple. A strategic lapse, and now a porn leak in Arizona. Soon the Superbowl will be the venue for advancing the degradation of sexuality in our culture. Until we will all be so overexposed that humans will lose interest and cease to reproduce (besides, kids are so expensive). Like most viruses, this superbowl disease will eventually kill off its primary audience -- humans with televisions.

Sounds an awful lot like a practical joke by someone in the Comcast control center (hey, I used to be in college...)
Ryan Reid Feb 3, 2009, 9:30pm UTC
yeah i heard about that, first we have a "wardrobe malfunction" now this lol
I live in Phoenix so I didn't get the free porn. I'm terribly dissappointed.

I saw this on the net and I think it was planned. What is up with people these day!
Misc M. Feb 10, 2009, 9:17pm UTC
It is incredible to think that someone did this...they had it really planned out in conjunction with the lighter amount of monitoring that goes with the transition to digital....

I feel sorry for anyone who saw something they didn't want to see, but it is the best joke ever. :)

Next year's super bowl halftime show is having Miley Cyrus, Taylor Swift, and Katy Perry perform naked. It's in negotiations right now.
