Cable company wank. With Boobies!
Okay, I lied about the boobies. Sort of. I assume that there were boobies, since this didn't involve a Zune.

So apparently some wires got crossed at Comcast, because when I'm pretty sure that Disney didn't suddenly get bought out by Hugh Heffner. Parents are understandably outraged, but the real fun is in the comments. We've got the Appeal to Irrelevent Authority (with bonus Random Scientific(?) Fact!), Parents vs. Childfree, round 7432056423650 (always a classic), a dash of snark, and even a small bit of common sense! Don't forget the people that have no problem with a five-year-old watching porn! Everything one could possibly want in a wank, wrapped up in one compact package. Except boobies. And Comcast bashing.

*sits on hands to refrain from explaining just why seeing a few seconds/minutes of porn will not raise one's likelyhood of being "sexually deviant"*

Linked does not equal caused, you morons! Do you have any idea how many other factors are involved considering the type of person that would allow their child to see porn?!

. . .Oops.

I so thought "Handy Manny" was the name of the porn.

You're not alone. It sounds like the title of a porn.

'S kinda like saying that violent video games are the sole cause of school shootings.


I think the parents are right to be ticked off, though. As a parent (hypothetically), since it's my parental responsibility to have The Talk with my kids, it should also be my right to choose the time and place. /idealistic

You have to remember, none of us actually need that pointed out to us. We're not the wankers.

I think the same thing happened in Quebec a couple months ago. Some tv show got interupted for a few seconds of random porn. Conspiracy, omg?

Man, I knew all about sex (and all the bad cuss words) when I was in Kindergarden thanks to the eighth graders that rode on the same school bus I did.

I used to flip to Skinemax late at night when at my dad's house at the ripe ol' age of nine and I found my step-dad's stash of Playboy when I was 12.

I'm pretty damn normal as far as I'm concerned.

Note to Disney: Don't have shows called 'Handy Manny' or anything else that could be mistaken as a porn title.

Sigh. I'm very old, today. Much as I love porn, and I really do (a lot), and as much as I enjoy some "interesting" habits (eg: "Burn In Hell Kinks", according to my mother *g*) ... I would be totally pissed if that happened while my kids were watching telly.

Yeah, years ago one of the porn channels in San Francisco 'accidentally' left their signal unscrambled in the early morning for several days before someone 'noticed' and fixed it. I'm sure the extra publicity hurt them very much.

"It wasn't something you'd expect to see on Cinemax, never mind Disney."

I like how he knows exactly where to categorize his porn.

I work for a telecom provider and these incidents are more than likely intentional.

I wish they'd let us in in their sekryt porn conspiracies... ;_; Can't take the teasing no more!

This made me feel all nostalgic, since my youthful sexuality was shaped by furtive peeks at scrambled cable porn.

Ahh, another typical day of comments at Consumerist. You should see how ugly they get when Geek Squad and Best Buy are brought up; it's like a feces throwing war between two grumpy Rhesus monkeys.

I guess it makes me a bad person that my first thought was 'they're getting so out of shape over Playboy TV? They don't even show penetration. Pfft, wusses'.

You know, the reaction of the parents is hilarious, if only because one day, the child will probably walk in on the both of them being "disgusting".

It's inevitable, and I'd give my right leg to hear that discussion...

Eh... yeah... having to explain porn to my 5 year old doesn't top my list of fun things to do, but hey could be worse for those parents. At least the kid didn't walk in on them having sex.
