Comcast apologises for porn

Gee and you thought seeing one of Janet Jackson's nipples on screan was bad enough... of course this seems to be getting much less press that a bearly seen nipple. I guess a penis flapping around the screan is no big deal. I guess I am lucky I have Charter :). That would be pretty bad though if this was because of a hacker. I do not think any hacker could keep that one silent and would be bragging on ever message board what he did.

Comcast considered throttling the bandwidth for that transmission?

A forty-year-old titty on Super Bowl sunday almost grinds a nation to a halt, provokes days of headlines, the threat of a Congressional hearing, not to mention weeks of Oprah blabbering, whilst a full-blown, hardcore, in-the-buff 30-second interruption of another Super Bowl provokes . . barely a headline for some online rags (no offense, Inq, I like your rag) ?!? Is it me, or is there somewhat of a scale issue ? By all rights, the religious fundamentalists should be converging in droves on Comcast headquarters with a rope and even a tree (just in case), and murder in their eyes. So, where's the outrage on this ?

I think the main reason the FCC went bonkers before (now that I think about it) was that the whole Janet Jackson thing was not only broadcast over cable, but more importantly broadcast over the air waves unscrambled. The FCC has a lot less say over what cable TV provides their paying customers then what is broadcast unscrambled to the World in general.

But still it was a flapping penis... Maybe Comcst does not have as many veiwers as they used to have, as they are not doing so well right now.

Porn is far more enjoyable than a bowl, even a super one.

I think it's some kind of ritual salad the USians eat every year to give thanks for being able to colonize the New World.
