Super Bowl Porn Watchers Offered Ten Bucks As Hazard Pay

We already thought that Super Bowl watchers in Tucson were the luckiest fans ever, what with the free porn that briefly graced their televisions. Now, they’re getting paid to have watched it.

E! brings word of Comcast’s attempt to smooth out what some might deem a problem, but what we would prefer to call a pleasant (if flaccid) surprise:

In a statement, the cable giant blamed the intrusion on a fiber-optics line operated by Cox Cable and that it was launching its own probe into what it called “an isolated malicious act.” Comcast also promised a $US10 credit to affected subscribers.

What about us, Comcast? We’ve watched it, too—and that isn’t even counting the damage we’ve surely incurred from watching Bruce Springsteen’s crotch-attack while we unfortunately still had our 3-D glasses on. We will accept our ten dollars in pennies, for the purpose of shenanigans.
