OT: FSN Nashville broadcasts porn during Predators game

Submitted by Wolverine Devotee on

So, yeah, this happened.

Apparently a porno was playing in the background of the Nashville Predators hockey game last night.

Warning: there are vines when you click the Deadspin link. They aren't autoplay, but I suggest muting your computer just in case.

I guess we know the answer to the old philosophical question, "if porn is in the background during a Predators-Blues game, and nobody is watching, does it make a noise?"

I worked in the TV business (small market stuff, both sides of the camera) in the '90's, and showing porn on TV in any way, shape or form, was impossible, the only situation would be a deliberate attempt.

With more networks, tight budgets (fewer and less experienced employees, due to very low salaries) and the interwebz, this sort of thing will almost assuredly happen more frequently.

There used to be a restaurant(I guess you could call it that) near campus in Madison WI called, "Smut 'n Eggs". I was visiting a friend there while in high school, and once saw an old movie of Ron Jeremy sucking his own dick while eating eggs at about 5:30 AM after drinking. No idea why that popped into my head.

A network (ESPN I think) had an ad campaign about ten years ago that had a catchline of "Golf would be better if ... it was hockey" and similar clips.  You'd have a player about to putt before a hushed gallery, and suddenly an opponent would cross-check the player with a putter to the roar of the gallery.

It seems that FSN Nashville is expanding this to the next level:  "Hockey would be better if ... it was porn."  Curious how that campaign will work out for them.

This happened here in Tucson a few years back during the Super Bowl -- someone at the local station that was carrying the game hit a switch that cut away from football and to some hard-core action.  It stayed on for about 20 seconds, then cut off and back to football.

You can imagine the local news stories after that incident.

This is becoming a Fox tradition. Last year our local Denver Fox station was showing some Twitter pics when they flashed some guys junk on the air. Page 3 any one?

You can see the video, NSFW, clip at Huffington for a good laugh.

if the porno actress was impregnated during said porno that was broadcast during the game, it would give new meaning to the phrase "slip one past the goalie" (a Seinfeld reference to the uninitiated)

Reminds me of the time channel 50 in Detroit forgot to blur out the good parts on a 11:00 showing of the Benny Hill show.  All these years later it still makes me warm and fuzzy.
