NZ sports fans cop eyeful of hardcore

Shaken NZ sports fans have recounted how a relaxing Sunday afternoon in front of Prime TV's Grass Roots Rugby turned to horror and disbelief as they were treated to three minutes and 50 seconds of rooting Desperate Black Wives 2. According to 3 News, the "programming blunder" spewed no-holds-barred filth from one of Sky's …

3 minutes 50 seconds?

Those desperate wives must have been disappointed.

The trench coat with the DVD-wallet size pockets, please.

[Anonymous Coward]

If it'd been the All Blacks vs. England

in 3 min 50 that would have been 3 tries against England that they didn't see.

Oh, just got the All Blacks joke !!!!!

Paris , cos she likes videos

[Mr D]

3 Mins and 50 seconds..

... meant there was enough time for a smoke afterwards before it was over !

Mines the one with the "toothpaste" stain ...

[Anonymous Coward]

England tour highlights

Clearly it can be explained away as an attempt to show the England team scoring against the All Blacks in NZ

[Anonymous Coward]

3 minutes and 50 second

Although the wives must have been disappointed, 3 minutes and 50 seconds might be just long enough for most viewers...

Mines the one with the stain on it, thanks.

[Jon Tocker]

Classic!

Hardcore porn, from what I've seen, lacks any real plot, requires no acting ability and has badly-scripted dialogue read from autocues...

In other words, it'd be a damned sight more intelligent than any thugby match...

[Adam Foxton]

Next year...

It'll be "Desperate All Blacks' Wives"

[lansalot]

3 minutes 50 seconds ?

Might not seem like a long time, but personally, I'd find it more than enough. Is this anything to do with the phrase "rugger buggers" ?

The coat with the pocket with the hole in it please !

Watch Out for the Crack Anti-Porn Squad

I'd love to post a rude and witty comment here, but the crack anti-porn squad, whose job it is to secretly snatch and incarcerate such people, have a nasty habit of striking when you least ex

[Chris Collins]

Monster?

Did it have that dude from 'monsters of cock' in it? I have to admit that I was pretty startled when I saw that one. You could pick up peanuts with that one.

[James Le Cuirot]

Cricket

Didn't this happen not so long ago with the cricket?

[Anonymous Coward]

Guess the viewers got

A different sort of hooker and scum than they expected.

Welll someone had to say it.

Pass me coat I am leaving.

Porn would make more sense than rugby

For a moment there I thought this might have been an explanation for why nearly everyone here seems to watch rugby. It seems that people really do want to watch sweaty men in tight shorts groping one another and making human pyramids.

I wonder what Freud would have made of it.

(New Zealander who isn't even vaguely interested in rugby - hence the alien...)

[Anonymous Coward]

Always blaming the porn

Rugby is about large men using themselves as battering rams to break one another's bones with a lame excuse of trying to get a misshapen ball to the far end of the pitch, and people complain that sex is harmful.

Seriously, if you want to ban something ban the one which involves stamping on people's heads.

Heard on TV .....

.... tonight on "Good News Week" (Australia), when Cal Wilson said:

" Rugby is like watching bits of farm machinery fight each other ".

Made me laugh.

[StillNoCouch]

What's the problem ?

Sounds like a wonderful idea to boost ratings.

Mine's the one with "Gimme My Ho" on the back ...

[Anonymous Coward]

Lucky they weren't in the UK

Everyone watching the ruggers might have suddenly been nicked for watching 'extreme porno'

[Anonymous Coward]

Combine Harvester Demolition Derby

"...watching bits of farm machinery fight each other..."

That's the third reference I've noticed in the last 72 hours to farm machinery brute force contests. And the third ever. Spooky.

Re: If it'd been the All Blacks vs. England...

...there would've been a hell of a lot more shafting going on.

[Jeffrey Nonken]

8 years old?

"One dad explained his eight-year-old son's innocence had 'been ruined'..."

Balderdash. Kids treat sex matter-of-factly if you do, and an 8yo boy probably finds it boring and incomprehensible. If anything has traumatized him it's your reaction.

You're better off educating him. The innocence won't last past the start of puberty, but the knowledge and understanding will help him through the rest of his life.

If it was New Zealand hardcore porn...

I wonder what the Sheep were wearing/doing?

[Anonymous Coward]

I suppose...

...that these are the same New Zealanders who found the black cocks hard to swallow?

[Anonymous Coward]

Did anyone notice...

The first interviewee was called "Tinkler"... there has to be a fetish joke in there somewhere!

[Tim]

3 mins 50 seconds?

Doesn't someone actually monitor the outgoing feed? I'm sure I'd notice if one of the monitors had porn on it.

[iSuff44]

So was........

a ball given to the hooker??

Sorry had to do it!

[PT]

In other news tonght

Did anyone notice the other news items at the "3 News" link? Such as -

"Dannevirke brothel to feature All Blacks themed room"

[Huw Jenkins]

3mins50

Is just enough time to crack one off and carry on as if nothing had happened!

Why can't we have more TV "blunders" like that?

[Anonymous Coward]

god, the risks of watching non pre-screened tv

We all know that there is the occasional swear word on tv, so we are all well aware that things can go wrong. In fact, during some on-location reports we are just waiting for one of those passers by to jump in front of the camera waving and shouting HI MUM.

I guess parents need to pay more attention to risk management, lest they accidentally emotionally scar their child. Better to pre-screen all tv just in case such a blunder happens. Then when the child is 16 and thinks life is peachy and perfect and are finally allowed to leave the house, reality will come roaring forward, and they will kill themselves, if they don't die from the shock first.

A tragic end, but what a blissful, innocent time those 16 years were.

We're jealous in the US...

All we got from our Super Bowl a couple years ago was a breast with a pastie-covered nipple, and it was on the nightly news for a week. If we'd had almost four minutes of hardcore porn broadcast over open air, people would have lost fortunes.
