New Jersey Comcast Shows Porn Instead Of Disney Channel

Parents, get used to it. At any time, and for any reason, there could be porn. You could be walking down the street and accidentally get hit by a truck full of porn. You could be watching Tom Brokaw host a special about healthcare and suddenly, wham. You’re watching porn. You could be watching the Disney channel, get up to go clean the bedroom, come back and your 5 year old will be watching hard core porn. Get used to it. From the NY Daily News:

The “Handy Manny” cartoon on Playhouse Disney was abruptly interrupted yesterday morning when Comcast honchos mistakenly aired the porno in sections of Jersey.

“What are they doing?” a 5-year-old boy asked his parents when an explicit sexual scene showed up on his TV screen.

The boy’s father, Paul Dunleavy, was appalled.

“It was two people doing their thing, it was full-on and it was disgusting,” said Dunleavy, who asked that his son not be named. “It wasn’t something you’d expect to see on Cinemax, never mind Disney.”

“If you can’t feel safe letting kids watch the Disney Channel, what can you do?” asked Dunleavy, a father of three from Middletown, N.J.

“I couldn’t believe it. We try to do the right thing to protect our kids from this stuff, and then they broadcast it on children’s TV,” Dunleavy said.

“My wife was like, ‘Oh, my God.’ She was shocked.”

Comcast isn’t denying it, but they don’t seem to have any idea what happened.

“We had an isolated issue in a local New Jersey facility, we immediately detected the issue and it was corrected promptly,” he said in a statement.

“We apologize to any customer who experienced it and continue to investigate the root cause of it.”
