Maybe the porno was starring Lindsay Lohan. ;)
After all, isn't she an attempt to appear to older audiences? Heh. :smirk:
But seriously, that's one hell of a screw-up, you've got to wonder if some tech over in New Jersey thought it would be a funny joke, or if not that what could have caused such an outrageous mix-up.

I wouldn't be to happy if it happened with my kids, I would be pretty damn mad actually.
But as it didnt and I simply heard about it. ROFL :D
Thas funny!!!!
That would be a large embarassment for Disney :shiftyr:
As far as being "kid-friendly" is concerned, they've been accused of slipping subliminal messages (http://www.snopes.com/disney/films/films.asp) in their films before. ;)

Leave poor Disney alone. They only meant to do good: Free Extra biology lessons for everyone!

I dont really see why anyone is blaming Disney here it obviously has nothing to do with them and all to do with comcast idiots.

Exactly, Disney's not to blame, it's comcast who somehow managed to screw up... royally. If that were my nieces or kids I would be pissed, but hearing about it, I find it amusing... haha...

Comcast spokesman Fred DeAndrea confirmed the programming error took place, saying the mistake was made by his company, not Disney.
From what I understand, this isn't the first time a similar thing has happened, probably someone quitting a broadcasting company thought it'd be funny to air some porn. Stupid people. :/

Is it strange that I got a chuckle out of this? I can just imagine the looks on those kids' faces, and their parents' when they walked in. :D

So, uh, who changed the thread title to the ridiculous behemoth of words that totally broke the joke and the teaser line?
Thanks for breaking my thread, jackass.
I'm aware that the article says Disney had nothing to do with the mix-up (I can read, you know...), but there's no joke to be made with "New Jersey Comcast Basic Package". Well, maybe, but not nearly as good of a joke. The world not going to end because I took a few words out of context... I don't see anyone rushing to censor the contextual meanderings of news agencies anywhere else, so why is it so necessary to change my thread title? Sheesh.
