Super Porn?

Tucson cable customers got more out of last night's Super Bowl than just seeing their Cardinals in the game for the first time in history.

The Arizona Daily Star reported this morning that certain cable customers in the Tucson area had their feed of the Super Bowl interrupted by a pornographic film that showed frontal male nudity.

Tucson's area Comcast cable company believes the incident was an "isolated malicious act", and they admitted to being "mortified" by what happened.

The porn clip lasted roughly 30 seconds, and appeared after Larry Fitzgerald's touchdown catch late in the fourth quarter.

It is not yet known just how many households this reached. Comcast reaches the second most homes in Southern Arizona. There are more than 80,000 subscribers. However, in talking to some area residents yesterday they reported that they did not see the clip on their broadcast of the game.

The porn clip only appeared on TVs broadcasting standard definition, and not those in high-definition, however.

Thanks to the Purist Bleeds Pinstripes Blog for the tip.
