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.

FOX is hoping you like a little politics with your football coverage.

On Super Bowl Sunday (that's this Sunday), FOX News anchor Shep Smith will host a two hour political show on FOX from 10am to noon. The show will not only have news about the election (Super Tuesday is next week), but they'll also feature a story on what it takes to put the Super Bowl together and will include comments from the candidates and other politicians about the game and politics in general.

On Sunday, February 4, the same day some kind of football game or something airs on TV, TBS will air all thirteen season one episodes of the series My Boys. The marathon begins with the first episode at 5:00pm and ends at 11:30pm. New episodes will premiere sometime this summer.

My Boys is currently the number one sitcom on ad-supported cable for adults 18 to 49, which means you actually have to watch the show if you fall into that age bracket. Otherwise, you upset the balance of the universe and before you know it the moon is crashing into the sun, the ocean tides are reversing, and owls are eating giraffes. I don't make the rules, people.

Of course, you could always record the marathon and watch the big game instead, but those of us who were artsy marching band nerds when we were younger and never cared much for football will be sitting back to enjoy some comedy.

For those of you who don't want to watch Prince perform during the halftime show at next month's Super Bowl game between the Bears and the Colts, you can always watch a football game played between drag queens and Howard Stern staffers.

That's what Stern has planned on the day on the Howard TV On Demand Channel. During halftime, viewers (for $13.99) can watch Stupid Bowl III: The Boys vs. The Girls. People who work on Stern's Sirius show will play a 28 minute flag football game against a bunch of drag queens. And as an added bonus, Penthouse Pets will be the cheerleaders. Not sure what they'll be wearing, if anything.

So this is Stupid Bowl III? What were the first two?

This just goes to show how much we don't care about Amy Fisher or Joey Buttafuoco. Last week, Joel told you how producers were shopping around a show where Amy, Joey, and Joey's ex-wife Mary Jo meet on national television. For all you youngsters out there, Amy Fisher is known as the Long Island Lolita. As a teen-ager in the 90s, she had an affair with Joey Buttafuoco and then shot Joey's wife. It became a media circus and there were no less than two made-for-tv movies about it (one starring Drew Barrymore). Someday I'll tell you about Lorena Bobbitt.

I don't know about you guys, but when I heard about this reunion, I was picturing a Jerry Springer-style throw down complete with hair pulling and body guards pulling a flailing Mary Jo off Amy and Joey. Instead, the cast of the Long Island Lolita will play second fiddle to mostly-naked girls in the Lingerie Bowl on Super Bowl Sunday. And, Mary Jo isn't even going to be there! Amy and Joey will meet face-to-face to toss the coin to start off the Lingerie Bowl, which is pay-per-view. Hmmm... something tells me Amy and Joey won't be the reason people will be paying to watch the Lingerie Bowl.
