Citizen Staff Report

Right after wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald scored a dramatic touchdown for the Arizona Cardinals, some Comcast cable TV customers saw a brief porn clip.

“We were like in shock,” said Cardinals fan Alice Soto, 53, who was watching the game with her 11-year-old daughter and 80-year-old mother.

She said the clip was of a man and woman on a sofa. The man unzipped his pants, revealing his genitals.

The clip lasted 5 or 10 seconds, Soto said.

Comcast spokeswoman Tracy Baumgartner confirmed in an Associated Press report that the company’s standard feed – but not its high definition one – was interrupted during the Super Bowl. She said engineers were investigating Sunday night.

Our Digital Archive

This blog page archives the entire digital archive of the Tucson Citizen from 1993 to 2009. It was gleaned from a database that was not intended to be displayed as a public web archive. Therefore, some of the text in some stories displays a little oddly. Also, this database did not contain any links to photos, so though the archive contains numerous captions for photos, there are no links to any of those photos.

There are more than 230,000 articles in this archive.

In TucsonCitizen.com Morgue, Part 1, we have preserved the Tucson Citizen newspaper's web archive from 2006 to 2009. To view those stories (all of which are duplicated here) go to Morgue Part 1
