Porn clip shocks Super Bowl viewers in the US

US sports fans got more than they bargained for when they sat down to watch the Super Bowl on Sunday. Viewers in Arizona were shocked when TV coverage of the game was interrupted by a pornographic video clip.

Comcast, a Philadelphia based Cable Company, whose viewers saw the pornographic material has issued an apology, and has started a full investigation. Comcast’s corporate communications vice president Jennifer Khoury said: “Our initial investigation suggests this was an isolated malicious act”.

And added that: “We did an extensive preliminary check on our technical systems, and everything appeared to be working properly when the incident occurred”.

The clip interrupted regular coverage of the Super Bowl seconds after the last touchdown of the match by the Arizona Cardinals, and showed a woman unzipping a man’s trousers and performing sexual acts on him.

It is still not known how the TV signal was interrupted.

The Pittsburgh Steelers won the match 27 – 23, beating the Arizona Cardinals, and earning their sixth Super Bowl win.
