Superbowl gets a sexy interruption

US sports fans in Arizona got a surprise when their TV coverage of American football's Super Bowl was interrupted by a pornographic film.

Tuscon-based KVOA-TV said it was "dismayed and disappointed" after some cable viewers had their match coverage disrupted towards the end of the game.

The company said the material was only seen by viewers of one cable network.

"KVOA will investigate what happened and make sure our viewers get answers," company president Gary Nielsen said.

"When the NBC feed of the Super Bowl was transmitted from KVOA to local cable providers and through over-the-air antennas, there was no pornographic material," he added.

Comcast, the cable company whose viewers saw the material, said it was investigating.

Local media outlets reported that they received calls from furious viewers.

The clip showed a woman unzipping a man's trousers, followed by a graphic act between the two.

"I just figured it was another commercial until I looked up," viewer Cora King told the Arizona Daily Star.

"Then he did his little dance with everything hanging out."

The interruption happened just after the last touchdown by the Arizona Cardinals, who lost the match to the Pittsburgh Steelers

Got to love the viewer's quote

That's a pretty shocking mistake for the cable company to make. I would be horrified if my porn was interrupted by some boring U.S. football

Hmmm, so football is watched almost exclusively by men, and we're saying that someone actually complained about this?

I watched the game live on BBC1. It was awesome, so I'd have been pretty pissed if it'd been interrupted by anything.

Yeah i watched it on TV3. I had no idea who either team was but by the end i was rooting for the Cardinals, i was gutted when the other team scored! Ah well, it was a fun night. Beer was enjoyed by all.

You forget that the US is full of religious nuts who are scandalized by even the slightest glimpse of flesh.
