- davidsmero, on 10/12/2007, -10/+402"It was two people doing their thing, it was full-on and it was disgusting,"
Give me a break, how did your son come into this world? - deadmen, on 10/12/2007, -2/+362Well, the cartoon that was supposed to be showing was called "Handy Manny", so you can see how they got confused.
- SlvrEagle23, on 10/12/2007, -7/+245"My son was extremely upset because he thought he'd done something wrong," Paul Dunleavy, Comcast Cable customer.
Corrected:
"My son was extremely upset because I beat the ***** out of him for watching porn instead of cartoons. He thought he'd done something wrong..."
Seriously, how many parents would blame Comcast first? - betobeto, on 10/12/2007, -3/+234"I'd hit it" said the talking hammer.
- NeO1seo, on 10/12/2007, -5/+227The one day I DON'T watch The Disney Channel! Gosh
- nickbender, on 10/12/2007, -4/+208Tyler Durden works for Comcast?
- JDoorjam, on 10/12/2007, -1/+190I had a similar experience in college: one day I walked into my apartment and was shocked to find my roommate sitting on the couch, watching Disney cartoons instead of porn. I'm assuming that was a programming error too.
- vhold, on 10/12/2007, -8/+190"Give me a break, how did your son come into this world?"
In the pitch dark probably. - dclowd9901, on 10/12/2007, -17/+181"Okay I could understand. Dont get me wrong, sex is beautiful and I'm a big fan of porn, but come on, be honest.. a good chunk of porn IS nasty and totally unappealing."
There is nothing wrong with two consenting adults having sex. Ever. Unless one of them is a midget, and it's midget porn. I ***** hate midgets. - roastedbagel, on 10/12/2007, -23/+185Giggity
- adidos, on 10/12/2007, -8/+152I think they forgot a piece of the story:
5 year old boy watching cartoon on the Disney Channel. All of a sudden, porn comes on. The kid continues watching. Father walks in. Notices porn. Dad looks at the channel and notices this porn is airing on the Disney Channel. Dad grabs a beer and takes a seat. - vhold, on 10/12/2007, -7/+143"Your son is a retard then, if he thinks watching an accidental program on the Disney channel was his fault. I hope he gets hit by a car to clear out the gene pool."
Before signing up for the internet, there should be a little caution sign "Warning: You may be exposed to comments suggesting confused 5 year olds deserve to die, please disregard these comments." - Dpack1, on 10/12/2007, -3/+133One can only assume that "Handy Manny" had come to fix a lady customer's plumbing.
- noahhoward, on 10/12/2007, -4/+130'"My son was extremely upset because he thought he'd done something wrong," Paul Dunleavy, Comcast Cable customer.'
Perhaps if you hadn't freaked out at a five year-old for watching porn and maybe tried to calmly explain what happened he wouldn't have felt like he was at fault? Just a suggestion for the next time. - NJank, on 10/12/2007, -0/+108"explain that it was sex and that's how children are made, and ask if they have any questions"
"but then why was she crying, daddy?" "and what were the three other people doing?" - ShrimpCrackers, on 10/12/2007, -4/+108This must be the first time that a positive story about Comcast makes it on the front page.
- R34C7, on 10/12/2007, -6/+109The kids shows these days...
- weeeeeeee, on 10/12/2007, -12/+105"It was two people doing their thing, it was full-on and it was disgusting,"
Okay I could understand. Dont get me wrong, sex is beautiful and I'm a big fan of porn, but come on, be honest.. a good chunk of porn IS nasty and totally unappealing. - catalysis, on 10/12/2007, -1/+87"programming error" = disgruntled technician
- omegapoint, on 10/12/2007, -2/+88I don't envy any parent the job of calmly explaining to their five year-old the role of Handy Manny's sidekick Dirty Sanchez.
- LogicBomB, on 10/12/2007, -3/+83FTA: "I couldn't believe it. We try to do the right thing to protect our kids from this stuff"
And therin lies the problem, dumb people think that sex is something to proect children from instead of educating about.
Wrong way to do things: They see porn on TV and they yell, scream, send their child out of the room, change the channel, talk in choppy sentences and say it was "nothing" or "a mistake" and they should "forget about it".
Right way to do things: Casually change the channel, explain that it was sex and that's how children are made, and ask if they have any questions, then send them on their way to play with toys, watch more tv (different channel...) or whatever. They won't understand much at the ages of 3-6 but you should answer any of their questions anyway and treat it as normal and not wrong. - NikoKun, on 10/12/2007, -1/+68I remember years ago, when the playboy channel cut into Jeopardy or wheel of fortune or whatever... xD my dad called me in... "hey watch this" XD
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -6/+68Mommy that man is hurting handy manny!!!!!!!!
- SpaceDreamer, on 10/12/2007, -2/+64"it was full-on and it was disgusting"
You're not fooling anyone, dude. We know you loved it. - benitojuarez, on 10/12/2007, -3/+64Haha Irony, the cartoon was about "Handy Manny," a cartoon about a bilingual Latino handyman and his talking tools.
- ericdano, on 10/12/2007, -2/+61It's Cumtastic......I mean It's Comcastic!
- BrokenVisage, on 10/12/2007, -2/+60If only there was a dedicated Disney porn channel, I'd watch The Little Mermaid every-damn-day.

- daurkin, on 10/12/2007, -2/+40I'm laughing at how the article names the father's full name but not the son who his dad wishes to be with held.
"The boy's father, Paul Dunleavy, was appalled." then "said Dunleavy, who asked that his son not be named." - McTendo, on 10/12/2007, -2/+40Yeah, I'm Christian and I think he's an ***** as well. The title and article do not mention religion, so don't drag it in. Simple as that.
- Inverno, on 10/12/2007, -3/+41I know of adult, amateur, anal, bareback, bbw, bicurious, blowjobs, boobs, bukkake, cocksucking, coed college couples, creampies, cumshots, deepthroating, dirty sanchez, fetishes, fingering, fisting, foot fetishes, gangbangs, groupsex, handjobs, hentai, interracial, jerkingoff, leather, lesbians, masturbating, oral sex, orgies, rustry trombones, shemales, smoking, striping, threesomes (MMW, WWM, MMM and WWW), trannies, twinks, voyeur, wife swapping and several other kinks.

Cable porn gaffe: The full Mickey!
BY ADAM NICHOLS
DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER

Some New Jersey tots got an adult education yesterday when a cable TV giant replaced a Disney cartoon with hardcore pornography.
The "Handy Manny" cartoon on Playhouse Disney was abruptly interrupted yesterday morning when Comcast honchos mistakenly aired the porno in sections of Jersey.
"What are they doing?" a 5-year-old boy asked his parents when an explicit sexual scene showed up on his TV screen.
The boy's father, Paul Dunleavy, was appalled.
"It was two people doing their thing, it was full-on and it was disgusting," said Dunleavy, who asked that his son not be named. "It wasn't something you'd expect to see on Cinemax, never mind Disney."
Disney's Playhouse features animated shows with content geared toward children ages 3 to 6. The boy had turned on the Disney Channel while his mom cleaned another room.
"If you can't feel safe letting kids watch the Disney Channel, what can you do?" asked Dunleavy, a father of three from Middletown, N.J.
"I couldn't believe it. We try to do the right thing to protect our kids from this stuff, and then they broadcast it on children's TV," Dunleavy said.
"My wife was like, 'Oh, my God.' She was shocked."
Comcast spokesman Fred DeAndrea confirmed the programming error took place, saying the mistake was made by his company, not Disney.
"We had an isolated issue in a local New Jersey facility, we immediately detected the issue and it was corrected promptly," he said in a statement.
"We apologize to any customer who experienced it and continue to investigate the root cause of it."
Comcast chiefs also were investigating why the X-rated action was not screened out by parental controls on TV sets.
Dunleavy, who only had the Disney Channel added to his cable package a couple weeks ago, received an apology directly from Comcast.
But he said, "My son was extremely upset because he thought he'd done something wrong, and we're hoping what he saw doesn't become an issue for him.
"If he asks about it, we'll have to find a way to discuss it with him.
"But I'm speechless. I try to protect my kids from a lot of things, but I wouldn't have thought Disney would become one of them." - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+23How much of a ***** melvin do you have to be to compile a list like that?
You forgot stockings! - dandiemer, on 10/12/2007, -5/+27Some of you people are rediculous to think that a 5 year old wouldn't react like that. I have 3 kids and I can definatly tell you that if something like this happend and I yelled at them to turn it off or I ran to shut it off they would think they were in trouble. It's just how kids think.
