NJ Kids Get Porn Instead Of Disney Channel
Comcast apologizes for isolated system glitch...
by Karl Bode Friday 04-May-2007 tags: business · cable · Oddities
Tipped by newview See Profile
Some New Jersey Comcast kids got more than they bargained for when they tuned in to "Handy Manny" on the Disney Channel this week and instead saw hardcore pornography. "It was two people doing their thing, it was full-on and it was disgusting," says a Middletown father of three. Comcast offered no explanation other than to call it an "isolated issue in a local New Jersey facility" that they corrected promptly.

Yeah right. "...it was full-on and it was disgusting...," Maybe if it's guy on guy. I could never say seeing porn was disgusting. Wrong or inappropriate, but not disgusting.

Maybe he should stop his disgusting habit of making babies.

Hardcore... who knows what he saw. Or maybe he meant it was disgusting that it was on a kid's channel.

Finding something sick makes you a phobe?

Oh that's right its a:
- Your with us or against us mentality.
- If you don't agree with my view you are wrong.

I disagree with homosexuality, abortion, divorce, and the US in general not using the death penalty enough. Does that have some kind of "phobia" you want to toss on it.

And doesn't make it wrong. Besides, having a phobia of anything means to have an irrational fear of it. Since the word homophobia means fear of homosexuals or homosexuality, would you then classify or characterize his feelings, and I quote, "Yeah, a guy taking it up the ass is really disturbing and disgusting..." as fitting the criteria of homophobia or simply not liking a particular sexual act committed by homosexuals within the context and perspective of this discussion?

Use words properly. They have meaninng and when you use them and apply them improperly, it makes you look like a knee-jerk, script reciting, kook...

He'll have a big lawsuit pending, but we all know he recorded for his later viewing pleasure.

Isolated issue?

Not really. Employees are watching porn all th etime. They guys on duty just got CAUGHT watching porn. This type of stuff happens when employees are watching porn and simply press a wrong button putting whatever they're watching on the air.

I would hope that it takes more then "pushing a button" to broadcast what the employees are watching.....pretty scary if thats all it takes...

Re: Isolated issue?

"Pushing a button" is oversimplified but it's not like it's a dozen steps to make this happen; meaning it can happen by negligence. Mistakes like this (putting up the wrong programming) are very common but typically the mistake results in you seeing the wrong commercial or a commercial being abruptly cut off and another one starting too soon. You hardly notice it. Pr0n however, it easier to notice.

Just wondering WHY employees are watching porn all the time. Don't they have jobs to do, and supervisors to make sure they're doing them? Sounds like something in that job culture needs to be corrected fast.

What if it's their job to make sure the porn channels are working correctly? Someone has to do it... right?

Back about 20 years ago when Cablevision still had systems in Illinois, the Downers Grove headend had an unlisted channel running hardcore porn unscrambled for the entire weekend. Seems some employee was piping it home to watch, but forgot that those addressable converters only "addressed" the descrambler. Oops...

Things never change.

Head-end tech took nap during middle school tour

Wellllll...ya see....the head-end tech fell asleep during a middle school tour. The kids decided to clean up the sloppy cable connections. They are truly sorry! wink

It was two people doing their thing, it was full-on and it was disgusting," says a Middletown father of three.

Disgusting????? Father of 3???? Must be the milkman's kids.

Disney = Smut

I guess no one realizes that Disney owns ABC. They have shows like DHW. Where women are taking their clothing off for every man. I would not be surprised if Disney also has their hands in the adult film business.

It's sad that when I and people I know hear Disney, we all think smut. Where are the Disney values?

They died when Walt did - sometimes I feel he must be spinning in his grave over some of the things that have gone on since he passed - while he was still with us, he made sure everything Disney did reflected family values; we know that is not the case with current management.

Customer Paul Dunleavy would also like to know. He was stunned Tuesday morning to find his 5-year-old son watching something other than a cartoon about a bilingual Latino handyman, Manny Garcia, and his talking tools.

im sure there was a "tool" involved. it might not have been a talking one though hahahahaha
