So you've probably heard about the 30 seconds of porn (video is unbelievably NSFW. You will be fired and embarrassed if you watch this video. Please don't show to your parents, kids, or clergy. Warning! Graphic!) that many Tucson residents saw during the Super Bowl. And if you lived in the area and actually saw it, you might be getting some money from Comcast.The cable company has decided to pay ten dollars to each person who was "affected" by the showing of porn during the game. I have no idea how you're supposed to prove you saw it or even what "affected" means. Annoyed? Ticked off? Embarrassed for your family? Aroused? Did it make you want to strangle a puppy? Comcast, the nudity you showed on Super Bowl Sunday made me rethink my career path. I want my ten dollars!
Comcast is still investigating what exactly happened, but they're pretty sure it was done by someone on purpose. Only people who didn't watch the game in HD actually saw it, which is a great ad for HDTV. Not sure if the spokesperson for the company helps by using the words "aggressively pursue" and "come to a resolution" in the statement.

I'm surprised that Comcast didn't charge them $10 for watching it.

I'm going to ask Time Warner Cable to send me ten bucks because they failed to show any porn during the Super Bowl.

The porn was God's way of saying he was a Steeler fan. He was telling the fans of Arizona to go suck it. He then caused the Cardinals to fall apart in the last minute allowing a touchdown by the Steelers. He looked at his work and said it was good.

I refuse to believe that Evan Stone was a prophet of the Lord.

Making the situation even more awkward, Comcast is planning to stuff the money into people's underwear, one $1 bill at a time.

So I'm guessing they won't be serving hotdogs or having a weiner roast at the next Comcast company picnic.
