TV technician suspended over porn blunder
CANBERRA (Reuters) - A television technician in French Polynesia has been suspended after he accidentally broadcast part of a pornographic movie shortly after a regular religious programme, Australian media reported on Wednesday.

The mix-up occurred earlier this month on the Tahiti Nui television network, when three minutes of the adult movie, including 52 seconds of explicit pornography, went to air during the mid-afternoon.

"It is funny, yes, but not really to us," station general director Haupert Ives told Australian Associated Press.

The technician was taping a satellite feed from Paris when he switched channels to look at an adult program, not noticing he had started to tape the wrong program, Ives said.

The technician was suspended without pay for a week.

This cracked me up. If this happened every time a religous program was on, I'd be up a 6am every morning to wath Benny Hinn.

Hey, if it helps people tune in to "learn the Gospel lulz" the church might start using it as a tactic.

Not.

My mommy won't let me buy cinemax because it has porn on it.

My mommy won't let me buy cinemax because it has porn on it.

Then ask her to let you watch televangelists.

That wasn't porn, that was just a dramatization of the Song of Songs (Song of Solomon).

Anyone who says the Bible hates sex should read that book. Solomon was one perky old king.

He should've been given a raise

He should've been given a raise

Especially after he gave everybody else one!

So I have an idea on how to boost church attendance.



Sucks to be that guy, a lot. But I do like how everyone just seems to find it funny there, yeah a weeks suspension, but imagine if that happened here.

They could try Biblically inspired porn next time.

Suspension without pay for a week, it's actually not a very big price for a very big joke

True, that's one hell of a story to tell your grandchildren.

Beautiful story.

Well French Polynesia is a really laid-back place, but apparently they've found their limit
