Rugby fans get an eyeful

WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) - July 7, 2008

Rugby fans in New Zealand got an eyeful yesterday.

Instead of rugby highlights on a midday sportscast, viewers saw four minutes of hardcore porn.

A spokesman for Prime Television blames a mix-up in the distribution process.

The X-rated segment had been intended for an adult pay-per-view channel.

Rival TV channels report some viewers were "shocked and disgusted" by the error. Prime TV is apologizing.
