'Vatican's Good Friday mass interrupted by "Girls Gone Wild"

'Girls Gone Wild' interrupts Good Friday mass
Philadelphia Daily News
Sweet Jesus!
That just might have been the reaction of a Bucks County woman at about 2 a.m. yesterday, when her regularly scheduled Comcast program - Good Friday Mass at the Vatican - abruptly changed to a 30-second "Girls Gone Wild" ad.
The seemingly unholy programming snafu was caused by a test for the Emergency Alert System, said Jeff Alexander, a Comcast spokesman.
"We're obliged to do emergency tests that are usually done in the overnight hours," Alexander said last night.
The test automatically tunes viewers to a preselected channel that is supposed to provide emergency information.
Since yesterday's test was just that, the preselected channel also aired its regular programming, which in this case was a paid advertisement for a "Girls" video. The ads are notoriously racy.
Alexander noted that no actual pornography was shown during the glitch.
Although the test affected Comcast's "entire" local footprint, only one person called the company to complain, he said. *
