VIDEO: Pornography plays on restaurant TV

One family's fast food dining experience ended with an unwanted sight.

Gerald Whalen was enjoying a meal with his wife and 6-year-old twin sons at an Oklahoma KFC restaurant when they noticed pornography playing on the television.

"I looked up from my plate and we're talking full nudity. There was a wall to where they couldn't see the TV and that's why I really didn't say what was going on," said Whalen.

Someone notified a manager who quickly unplugged the TV.

The Whalens say the scandalous show lasted less than a minute and they were able to shield their sons from seeing it.

They now believe it was an honest mistake - a premium movie channel had been left on too long.

KFC apologized and called this an isolated incident.
