Time Warner Shows Playboy On Kids Channels, Apologizes [Porn]

In central North Carolina, Time Warner showed Playboy previews adjacent to the menus on popular kids On Demand channels.  Just to add insult to injury, the “glitch” occurred from 6:15am to 8:15am in parts of Cary, Garner, Morrisville, Wilson, Goldsboro, Willow Spring and Johnston County, North Carolina.

“It took about an hour or so once we were notified of the problem to actually get it fixed,” TWC spokesman Keith Poston said. “It was a technical glitch and unfortunately it hit at the worst possible time on the worst possible channels.”

“But, something like this, where we have programming fed into a preview window that wasn’t supposed to be there, the parental controls wouldn’t have caught it. “It’s not like an image filter like some Internet services provide. We should have caught it and we didn’t.”

Or maybe they had a rogue employee, who thought it would be hilarious to end his employment with a “bang.”

Thanks for the tip, Rachel.
