There's Oops and Then There's... Oh Boy!

It seems the Disney Channel was briefly preempted. As a five-year-old little boy was watching, he suddenly asked his parents, "What are they doing?" An education came nearly a decade before expected.

Cable porn gaffe: The full Mickey!
 
See what happens when Nick quits, Comcast goes to He::
 
But he said, "My son was extremely upset because he thought he'd done something wrong, and we're hoping what he saw doesn't become an issue for him.

Oh please.:rolleyes:
 
On a related note, they also announced that they'd have to bill all customers $9.95 for the x-rated move they aired. ;)
 
You know what actually happened went a little more along these lines and wasn't printed:

"It was two people doing their thing, it was full-on and it was disgusting," said Dunleavy, who asked that his son not be named. "It wasn't something you'd expect to see on Cinemax, never mind Disney." Dunleavy then approached his wife after the incident, asking if they could try what they saw on TV.

theres a big difference between an email to the company and putting porn on the disney channel. Nick has a great attitude, he just had a ****ty job. Nick is a class act, I can't see him stooping to this kind of low.

I think it was more like a few techies wanted to have a private screening in the studio and the wrong switches got flipped. I suspect some beer was involved.

(with no knowledge of the incident, this is a guess...)
 
I guess I'm going to have to pay closer attention when the kids are watching Disney. Strictly for their protection, you know!
 
"If you can't feel safe letting kids watch the Disney Channel, what can you do?" asked Dunleavy, a father of three from Middletown, N.J.

Uh, maybe go outside and play catch with the boy? Or give him a good book to read? Or... or... or...

TV ≠ Babysitter, or parent for that matter. Sheesh.
 
This statement:
"Comcast chiefs also were investigating why the X-rated action was not screened out by parental controls on TV sets."

Makes me think that whoever made that statement doesn't understand how the V-Chip.

The vast majority of local news reporters in medium markets and smaller are idiots who don't know -- and don't care -- about anything having to do with money, math or technology. Most of them are intellectully vapid, low paid kids only recently out of college who get a thrill out of seeing their name in print but don't understand the importance of getting it right. I worked in such places for 15 years, but I find it telling that only 2 years out of college I was one of the bosses.

But man, journalists can party! :wineglass:

edit: I read too much into this, methinks.

But - for the record, I did not do anything to Comcast before I left, except send an email to the entire company that said goodbye (in a nice way even). The desire was there, but I did not do it. If this was someone's joke, they are childish and should be ashamed. Messing with customers is different from messing with Comcast, and this is what happened.

Not to be confused with the infamous "BitchDog" Comcast incident in Philadelphia. That was just funny, and that lady got her just desserts (although, had it been me, I would have found a better name than BitchDog.
