According to the Arizona Daily Star, Tucson-area cable TV broadcasted porn during the Super Bowl:

A short clip of a pornographic movie cut into a Comcast broadcast of the Super Bowl in homes in and around Tucson. Officials at Comcast confirmed that its signal was interrupted during the Super Bowl, but the company is still working to figure out how porn broke into its cable feed. Engineers at Comcast will be working throughout the night to determine what happened, said Kelle Maslyn, a Comcast spokeswoman.

Well, this would certainly top the infamous Janet Jackson / Justin Timberlake flash from a few years back. It’s a good thing this was just an isolated incident.  I’m already not too happy with the fact that all Hip Hop and R&B artists are being blacklisted for the Super Bowl because of Janet Jackson’s Nipple Slip.  Now we are stuck with a bunch of washed up artists coming out of retirement to perform songs that weren’t even popular to the oldest player in the NFL. 

This is just another reason why I’m glad I have DirecTV!  I would have been PISSED if this happened during my Super Bowl get together.  Can you imagine the day at work the guy (or gal) who is responsible for this will have when this gets sorted out?  I would love to be a fly on the wall during that exit interview.  LMAO!

In today’s economic times events like this are no surprise.  I read about bank robberies almost daily now.  This one however, caught my attention because I used to live in Temple Terrace and I remember very clearly where this bank is located – DIRECTLY across the street from Temple Terrace City Hall AND get this – the TEMPLE TERRACE POLICE STATION!

Normally, wouldn’t write on such an event because I know a few people that work in banks and this sort of thing keeps them up at night.  What is astonishing to me is the guts this particular robber had to even PLAN such a robbery when the getaway route passes directly in front of the only police station in the city (of Temple Terrace)!  I must tip my hat to the man or woman (didn’t you see Set It Off) because he or she is truly living dangerously!  Speaking of Set It Off, here is one of my favorite scenes from that movie:

In a time when we embark on having the First Black President inaugurated, it’s news like this that brings us back to reality. They say “Racism” is no longer an issue in today’s society… I would ask those that think that “where do you live?”

I’m sure that Barack Obama has endured enough racism in his life for the number of blacks that are in House Of Representatives alone. He’s shown me that he can take it. He’s shown me that he can handle it. What I don’t understand about this racist at is that the attacker is only 1 of millions of people that have the audacity to express his racism. I have heard people say things like “how could you be a nigger-lover?” to someone donning an “I Voted For Obama” pin – the sad thing is the person wearing the button was white and the person asking the question was also white. It just goes to show you that racism is learned (taught) ignorance and not just an explainable phenomenon.

I have been following this story closely since it broke in early July 2008.  I became a father on July 22nd and it is sickening to think that anyone could do this to any child, let alone their OWN child – and the child’s own mother at that!

I only hope that the so-called-justice system doesn’t drop the ball on this case and let this sick woman murderer go free!
