Viewers of a grassroots
rugby television program in New Zealand received more than they
bargained for yesterday when onfield play gave way to hardcore
pornography.
Nearly four minutes of a porn segment were screened on the free-to-air Prime Channel before order was restored and the rugby returned.
A statement from Prime said a distribution fault had allowed "inappropriate material" from the pay-per-view Spice Channel to appear in the rugby program.
Rival Television Three reported that "parents were outraged" at the blunder.
One father said his eight-year-old son's innocence was ruined while the rival station showed a 12-year-old girl with her hands over her eyes saying "eww" and "gross".

I wonder what that chic did with the can of whipped cream in her hand?? To be honest, not a good thing to happen but I do feel some of those complaining on TV3 were a bit over the top. Kids will quickly forget if they haven't already. I noticed that although offended they had to stay on that channel to see how long the clip went for. Surely a responsible parent upon discovering it would have changed the channel.
