So, let's just say that you are a retired middle aged man (let's call you Morty), who moves from upstate New York down to Del Boca Vista in Tucson, Arizona. You gather with your other retiree friends to check out the Super Bowl game. As fortune would have it, somehow the team from Arizona has stumbled into the game, and so you and the other folks are pretty happy already. The game starts and goes along nicely. Then, in the second half, as Larry Fitzgerald breaks into the end zone to score a touchdown and make the game interesting, your television cuts to a 30 second clip of hard core pornography. Fantastic - Del Boca Vista erupts in cheer. Go, Larry, go. As if things could not get any better - I read today that Comcast now plans to give each of it's viewers in the Tucson area a $10 check to compensate them for the interruption and the inappropriate images that appeared on their screens. I hope you read this story, because honestly I still cannot believe that people not only got major network porn, but they have now been paid to watch it.
So, let me get this straight...the majority of viewers in Tucson not only would be old enough to have seen the original Heidi game, but they have now witnessed the most exciting 30 seconds in television sports history and they are getting paid for this? Awesome. Touchdown Cardinals.
