And in other news...






Swedish blunder puts porn on news

Swedish state broadcaster SVT has admitted a "huge blunder" after a porn film was accidentally shown in the background of a news bulletin.

A five-minute news update shown at the weekend included explicit scenes from a Czech porn movie on a monitor behind the anchor Peter Dahlgren.

"This is highly embarrassing and unfortunate," said SVT's Per Yng.


Usually, the monitor shows the output of other news channels - but the workers had changed it to watch a sports event on cable channel Canal Plus.

However, they did not remember to change the channel back - which, because Canal Plus shows adult content after midnight, resulted in the error.

A producer quickly spotted the sex scenes and ran into the control room and turned off the monitor, news director Mr Yng said.




I'm thinking about raising money to get Mr Yng some nice vowels...

Poor guys - I'm surprised though that they kinda advertise the 'other' news channels in the background - maybe we should put little jpegs of other peoples forums in the background of the JDBB?
