Disney Channel Horror: Customers Get Porn Instead

(CBS4) NEW JERSEY Many New Jersey residents watching the Disney Channel Tuesday morning were outraged after the family-friendly programming turned into a pornographic display.

Jennie Sherman still can't believe what happened while she was watching the show "Handy Manny" with her two twin sons.

"We were just sitting here and the screen just froze and then all of a sudden I saw very graphic pornography on the television and I scrambled to get the remote to shut it off," Sherman told WCBS-TV in New York City.

Sherman said she immediately recorded the X-rated graphic video on her DVR. She then e-mailed wcbstv.com to report the shocking news.

"Basically because I said my husband is not going to believe this," she said. "I was in shock, I pressed record and shut the television off."

Comcast spokesman Fred De'Andrea issued a statement regarding the incident:

At around 9:30 Tuesday morning we had an isolated issue in a local New Jersey Facility. We immediately detected the issue and it was corrected promptly...We apologize to any customer who experienced an issue this morning. We are continuing to investigate the root cause of the incident.

Comcast officials also point out this had nothing to do with the Disney Channel.

"If I was in the kitchen and not with them and this had happened, I would hit the roof I think," Sherman said.

Sherman said she contacted customer service at Comcast and they couldn't tell her if others had complained but they did credit her for a month but she said she is still afraid of turning on her television.

"I am definitely worried to put the Disney Channel on again (or) Comcast again," Sherman said.

This kind of thing seems to be happening more and more lately. Are these people at the TV stations asleep at the switch, totally stupid, or both??

Oh, that's not porn. Donald Duck just doesn't wear pants, that's all.

Line of the day.

To paraphrase Norm MacDonald, "Children watching called it 'the best episode of Handy Manny ever.'"

Seriously, that's horrible. I don't think this kind of stuff "accidentally" happens. It has to be the handiwork of a hacker, or a disgruntled Comcast employee.

LMAO. I've always been saying that it would be funny if Disney Channel turned into a porn station at night or something.

Odd how it's pretty much always porn isn't it? It's never, say, the Travel Channel or BBC America or something that gets placed on instead when something like this happens.

So true.

I would be very upset by this...especially when they corrected the mistake and went back to their "regular programming."

You know, some morality groups in Finland actually tried to ban Donald Duck for that very reason over twenty years ago! Not only because he was pants-less, but because they were not sure of the origins of his so-called "nephews". And what was his relationship with Daisy Duck??

Anything to do with the mysterious appearance of Huey, Dewey, and Luey?

From what I recall, some group in Germany or elsewhere finally convinced them that Donald was in fact a very moral duck.

DAMNIT!!! AGAIN???? How is it that I keep missing these damn channels that "accidently" show porn?
