Four Minutes of Pornography Slips Into Kids' Rugby Game; Parents Surprisingly Not Thrilled


Pornography is very popular these days with the American working class (Woo! Stimulus checks!). But that does not make it FCC approved. And it certainly is not an acceptable mixer with children's rugby in New Zealand. But that's what parents and fans of the kid's sport were treated to while watching a live broadcast of "Grassroots Rugby" on the New Zealand television channel Prime.
A spokesman for Prime Television on Monday blamed a mixup in "distribution processes" for the error which inserted the hardcore segment in the regular program "Grassroots Rugby."

The segment was intended to air on an adult pay-per-view channel.


Yeah, so, um, whoops? On the bright side of things, at least it puts the whole Janet Jackson - Nipplegate thing in perspective. Because, apparently, this was not just a little side boob getting flashed, it was the full hardcore pornography.

The downside is parents are going to complain and steer their kids away from your station. The upshot, though, is that by combining kids' sports and porn, Prime has corned the market on the coveted "creepjob" demographic.

And now the totally work safe video (sorry...) of the not so thrilled parents being interviewed.

WHAT IS
BACK PORCH?

The easy answer:
Back Porch exists because FanHouse doesn't have a basement for its bloggers. The bigger picture? BP covers sports news that's funny, off-beat and controversial. In short, it's the other side of sports, covered with an edge. Enjoy.
