Toddlers get Disney hardcore porn

US toddlers tuning in for a Disney cartoon in the state of New Jersey this week got more than they bargained for, when the local cable company mistakenly started broadcasting hardcore pornography.

According to the New York Daily News, Handy Manny, a cartoon on Playhouse Disney about a Latino handyman and his talking tools, broke off on Monday morning when Comcast mistakenly started airing an X-rated movie.

One subscriber, Paul Dunleavy, told the newspaper he realised something was awry was when his five-year-old son asked him: “What are they doing?”

“It was two people doing their thing, it was full-on and it was disgusting,” Mr Dunleavy said.

“I couldn't believe it. We try to do the right thing to protect our kids from this stuff, and then they broadcast it on children's TV,” Mr Dunleavy said.

A Comcast spokesman told the newspaper the programming error was the cable company's fault, and that Playhouse Disney, which is pitched at children aged three to six, was not to blame.

“We immediately detected the issue and it was corrected promptly,” he said, adding that the incident was under investigation.

Mr Dunleavy, however, was not satisfied.

“I try to protect my kids from a lot of things, but I wouldn't have thought Disney would become one of them.”

Just leave the kid alone (by not over-reacting) and they'll probly not mention it again.
