Porn appears on rugby programme
New Zealand rugby fans watching a regular sports programme found themselves viewing hardcore pornography instead on Sunday afternoon.
Four minutes of pornography interrupted sports coverage on the Prime Television channel, after what a spokesman described as a distribution mix up.
The pornographic footage was meant for an adult pay-per-view channel.
Instead, it found its way onto a regular free-to-air programme called "Grassroots Rugby".
Rival television channels reported that some viewers were angry about the broadcast, which may have been seen by children.

Can you say ouch? I can imagine the outrage that will come from this.
