Not quite the show they expected
Kids tuned to 'Handy Manny' get porn
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MIDDLETOWN, N.J. -- Children here got more than they bargained for when they tuned in to "Handy Manny" on the Disney Channel this week - hard-core pornography.
Cable giant Comcast is investigating how the porn was broadcast during the popular cartoon, which is about a bilingual handyman, Manny Garcia, and his talking tools.
Customer Paul Dunleavy was stunned Tuesday morning to find his 5-year-old son watching the broadcast.
"It was two people doing their thing; it was full-on and it was disgusting," the father of three told The New York Daily News.
Comcast spokesman Fred DeAndrea confirmed that the programming error occurred around 9:30 a.m. Tuesday. He declined to provide the duration of the porn broadcast but described it as an "isolated issue in a local New Jersey facility."
A Disney Channel spokeswoman said the company has asked Comcast for assurances that appropriate measures were taken to prevent such situations in the future.

I'm not really surprised why porn would show up.
Obviously, Manny is high on crack. I mean, come on, talking tools?
It was obviously a matter of time before it went to porn or murder.0 -
Folks should be happy it was normal porn and not Snow White does the Seven Dwarf's.[;)]
Hi Ho! Hi Ho!, it's it's off to work we go!0 -
A local TV station accidentally brodcast porn about 2 years ago.
Appearently, the night shift at the station was watching it on a VCR....Someone hit the button which broadcasts the VCR feed.
It stayed on the air for about half an hour before the station caught it0 -
So instead of "Manny, the bilinguist," they got "Manny the cunninglinguist?"[:D][:D] 0
