The link above is a work friendly site. However searching for the clip online is not a good idea.

I think they do this on purpose. In recent memory - they've interrupted channels (including Disney in one instance) in other markets with porn (once in the Boston area and once in New Jersey, IIRC).

I don't think they're doing this on purpose. The previous incident with Disney a couple of years ago was just a technical error. I wasn't paying much attention to the game on Sunday, nor was I near the impacted area. And the area was in Arizona, one of the teams in the Super Bowl.

Those GoDaddy commercials got cut off a bit late, didn't they?!  :P

90% of the drunkards (that were men) were likely going like  :thrilled:

j/k...but this is happening more and more nowadays these days as of late.

Wonder why?
