Hard-core porn interrupts news show
3 minutes ago


MESA, Ariz. - Viewers of a news show broadcast on a Phoenix-area cable television station received a lot more than news — hard-core pornography started streaming into their living rooms, replacing a health show featuring former NBC News anchor Tom Brokaw.

The incident on KPPX-TV Monday night prompted a flood of calls to local news media outlets and cable provider Cox Communications, including one from Chandler resident Brenda Schodt, who said she was shocked to look up and see graphic sex acts on her television screen.

"Maybe five or 10 minutes into the show there was no volume," Schodt said. "I thought it was the TV, but when I looked up, there were these images."

Cox spokeswoman Andrea Katsenes said that the unexpected clips were a "source issue" with the broadcaster.

ION Television, which operates KPPX, called the problem "an act of human sabotage" at its station.

1. Well, it has been shown that a good sex life is a healthy thing to have.

Perhaps this was simply the health show's producers way of getting this point across:shrug:

2. and YES---these images CAN unexpectantly pop up on your computer!

3. I Just Thought It Was The Best Damn "News Show" I've Ever Seen

That was a mistake? :shrug:

4. I expected more from Tom Brokaw.

5. Well it's not hard core but Fox sure is porn.

6. Meanwhile, the truly graphic images the media won't show are the ones from Iraq.

But, whatever. Nothing like human sexuality to get the finger-wagging moralists' shorts in a bunch. I'm sure heads of the local Christian Coalition types are exploding willy-nilly over this right now. If Janet Jackson's boob was a fund raising boon for James Dobson, this should be a bonanza.

7. Pubic Service Announcement? Or, did the weather girl get carried away?

I've always considered the "Local News" akin to swimming in cotton candy presented by blow-dried munchkins with shiny teeth who are adept at giggling, but maybe I should try tuning in again.

8. Should have suspected that - look at the cable provider's name

11. How did they know when the porn took over from the newscast?

Maybe five or 10 minutes into the show there was no volume

Oh, I see. That would definitely mark when the first group of whores stopped and the second group started...

[MADem]

12. And geezers across the city wrenched their backs grabbing a tape and cramming it in the player!! NT

14. They found it revolting after watching five hours of replays.

[RiverStone]

13. Well, thats one newsworthy way to say we are getting fucked over...

:hi:

[jaksavage]

15. big bucks in porn

[Pangolin]

16. Well, you can't let sex interrupt the violence report.....
