Comcast apologizes for Super Bowl porn
WASHINGTON (AFP) — Cable television provider Comcast apologized to customers in Tucson, Arizona, on Tuesday after the airing of a 30-second clip from a porn movie during the Super Bowl broadcast.
"We are mortified by the Super Bowl interruption, and we apologize to our customers," Comcast said in a statement.
"We can't undo what happened, but we remain deeply sorry for the impact this situation has had on our customers," the Philadelphia-based company said.
Comcast said it planned to issue a 10-dollar credit to subscribers whose broadcast of the final minutes of the game was interrupted by a scene from a pornographic movie in which a woman unzips a man's pants and performs a sexual act.
"While this credit won't change what happened, we hope that it will demonstrate to our customers, and to the Tucson community, how seriously we are taking this situation," Comcast said.
"We are continuing with our investigation into what we believe may have been an isolated, malicious act, and will aggressively pursue all leads until we come to resolution," the company added.
Comcast said it did not know how many customers were affected, but a local newspaper, the Arizona Daily Star, said it appeared to have been thousands.
The newspaper said it was flooded with calls from irate viewers following the incident, which came with less than three minutes left in the game between the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The clip was apparently from a porn movie being shown on another Comcast pay-per-view channel at the time.
The Federal Communications Commission fined the CBS television network a record 550,000 dollars after singer Janet Jackson briefly bared her breast during the 2004 Super Bowl halftime show.
