I heard it was a disgruntled employee that was responsible, maybe I should say former employee:hmm3grin2orange:

A funny quote from someone that saw this...

"I was watching the game with my family, Larry Fitzgerald scores the go ahead TD - then bam, penis," writes reader David.

Apparently comcast is gonna make "amends" by giving affected customers $5.

Reminds me of the time we got our IKEA catalog in the mail...
turns out when you opened the cover, there was a pic of very beautiful/typical IKEA modelers on a bed, with a jack russell laying on his back...
It was a family, I believe..
BUT SOMETHING WAS DIFFERENT....
The dog had the.. err.. "privates" of a human man!!

Very funny.. turns out an employee got mad at his employer and.. ya know.. lol. He got fired!

We still have that catalog somewhere.. (blush)

That was actually an innocent pictures te ust hadn't looked closely enough at. No penis and no sabotage, just the leg of the dog that looked like a penis. But I know that is not what people say :shappy:

In sweden they accidentally cut the Disney hour for porn. They showed about 15 minutes before noticing it and turning the cartoons back on. it was interesting watching my 7 year old brothrs face ;-).

That stuff doesn't happen accidentally and like Algenco said, only a person can do something like that purposely. Ya know.......like Janet Jackson getting her dress to come apart at that very spot and just at the right moment. They managed to get MTV banned from ever doing the half times again.

Actually it does when to many people are involved. In the Swedish case it wasn't a mistake by the channel itself but by a British satellite firm who got their frequencies mixed up. It messed with other channels as well but with less amusing results.

Never underestimate the f**k ups people can do with out meaning to do so.

Reminds me of a flyer I got in the mail last year with a web address to sign up for high speed. I entered the address in Google and up come this porno site. I reported to the DSL company their flyer was interesting but really not what I was looking for. :)

Or at least you'd hope it was glue...

Was the guy responsible arrested? Cause you know, corruption of youth, exposing children to pornographic images... We do have a legal system after all.

Very short-sighted prank IMO.
