Hardcore porn replaces Disney show on cable
A technical fault at a cable headend in New Jersey resulted in hardcore pornography replacing Disney Channel programming on Tuesday morning, it has emerged.
One Comcast subscriber told the New York Daily News that he found his 5 year old son watching porn instead of Handy Manny, a cartoon about a handyman. "I couldn't believe it," Middletown resident Paul Dunleavy told the paper.
"We automatically detected the issue and it was corrected promptly," Comcast spokesperson Fred DeAndrea said. "We apologise to any customer who experienced an issue yesterday morning."
It is understood that New Jersey's Board of Public Utilities has started an investigation into the incident.
