Sorry for the interruption

I deleted my last post because all of a sudden my computer was attacked by a Trojan horse (?) virus after I was on that website. Good thing I have numerous anti-virus and spyware programs installed on my laptop.


(Damn, because I was typing instead of paying attention, I just missed that HULU ad with Alec Baldwin!)


Anyway ... I'm not making the accusation that it came from the Zimbio site, but I thought it was probably prudent to remove the post with the link - and I didn't think to just change the link to another site because I was still in a panic.


For those of you who did not see it, it was about Comcast subscribers in Tucson, AZ, getting 30 seconds of porn during the Super Bowl.

What's the Super Bowl without porn? Here is the story from CNN.com.


Just as Cardinals' superstar Larry Fitzgerald watched himself sprint into the end zone on the stadium's Jumbotron during Sunday's Super Bowl, 10 seconds of eye-popping pornographic imagery "flashed" across the screens of those watching at home.

"We are mortified by last evening's Super Bowl interruption, and deeply apologize to our customers for the inappropriate programming," Comcast Cable said in a written statement.

Apparently there was male frontal nudity. Ten seconds? The other report said 30 ... oh well, as I said before, I was so startled by the up-close view of the Springsteen crotch that, had I been watching in Tucson, my powers of sight might still have been impaired.
