Check Your Connections – Wisdom from the Stupid

A technician at a television station in French Polynesian that I am convinced is related to my Comcast guy found himself in trouble for getting his connections crossed up.

Some 20 minutes after a religious program was aired, viewers found themselves watching about three minutes of porn, 52 seconds explicit.

“Quick, get the stop watch so we can see how long this lasts.”

About a dozen angry viewers called in to let the station know.

“Wait! Don’t call just yet. I think they are giving us an example of what the preacher in the previous program was telling us to avoid.

“Wait…wait…wait…Okay, you can call now.”

The guy apparently had wanted to treat himself to a little porn while he was recording a program that came in by satellite. Instead of recording the incoming program, he recorded the program he was watching.

He then forgot, that happens when you watch porn I hear ( I wouldn’t know from firsthand experience, mind you) to check the program before he aired it, too.

A local union at the TV station wants him more severely disciplined than just a week off without pay.

The techie’s union is planning to use the incident as an excuse to strike.

Whew! Don’t I feel better now that the unions are involved. I am sure there won’t be any more such mistakes now.

And, btw, how come my Comcast guy doesn’t screw up like this at my house?
