WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) _ Rugby fans who tuned into a mid-afternoon highlights show got more than they bargained for Sunday when they were treated to four minutes of hardcore pornography. A spokesman for Prime Television on Monday blamed a mixup in "distribution processes" for the error which inserted the hardcore segment in the regular program "Grassroots Rugby.
" The segment was intended to air on an adult pay-per-view channel. Rival television channels reported some viewers were "shocked and disgusted" by the mixup, which occurred around mid-afternoon.
Prime has apologized for the error.
