Comcast replaces Disney with porn

I am hardly a fan of Disney, but this still sounds like a nightmare scenario for parents who do not want (sexual) porn broadcast into their homes:

Children here got more than they bargained for when they tuned in to “Handy Manny” on the Disney Channel this week — hard-core pornography.

Cable giant Comcast is investigating how the porn was broadcast during the popular cartoon, which is about a bilingual handyman, Manny Garcia, and his talking tools.

Talking tools? Ahem…

Could this generate new interest in content monitoring and in-line restrictions? I am sure many of us would like to be able to block content from being broadcast through our home devices. Imagine if you could detect and block spam-like product advertisements before they hit the screen, for example…kind of like firewalls and anti-malware on the consumer router.
