Swedish TV Channel Accidentally Broadcasts Porn During Live News
We love porn as much as the next guy, but there are times when it just isn't appropriate; say, during a live TV broadcast. And yet, a 24-hour Swedish news channel showed an adult film for a full 10 minutes before someone had the bright idea to turn it off. That's funny, we always thought "Swedish erotica" meant something different.
As two reporters on the Swedish news channel TV4 News delivered a report on Russia's support for Syria, a porno flick inexplicably began playing on a monitor in the background.
According to 23-year-old Danyal Ek, who witnessed the incident in real-time, the image was a bit blurry, but it wasn't difficult to tell what it was. "I realized I was looking at a naked woman and it quickly became clear she was having sex," he said. "It didn't take long before I realized it was a porn film."
A spokesman for the TV channel offered no official explanation, but he vowed viewers would never be treated to hardcore porn again. "Put simply, it's crap that it happened," he said. "We're going to do everything we can so that it doesn't happen again."
Or don't. After all, why should the internet be the only place to get free porn? Plus, it probably spiced up the news.
