PHOENIX -- A Phoenix television station says it has fired an employee suspected of adding about 30 seconds of pornography into a broadcast of a news show.

The unnamed worker for ION Media Networks' KPPX-TV "was immediately terminated and faces further legal action" after an investigation determined who was responsible for the March 12 incident, spokeswoman Leslie Monreal said in a statement.

Palm Beach, Fla.-based ION Media Networks, which offers family friendly programs, called the incident "an intolerable act of human sabotage" and apologized to viewers.

Monreal said the images appeared only in the Phoenix market. The images prompted a flood of calls to local news media outlets and the cable television provider.

They probably called to complain it was that softcore hotel crap.

I think "community standards" still rule. I travel a lot and, until they started requiring itemized hotel bills for expense reports, I watched my share of hotel porn. The same hotel chain will have different standards in different parts of the country. And still some zany rules. Some will show two seconds of the blow job - BUT NO MORE!! Even if the movie is called "Super Suckers" (which makes for a very short movie). Some still use that ridiculous shot from the soft-core version of the shoot with a vase on the table in exactly the right spot. And some leave in the "Baby, I want you to shoot on my face!" "Do you want me to shoot on your face?" "Yes, I want to shoot on my face!" "OK, get ready, I'm going to shoot on your face". Guy pulls out, girl quickly drops to her knees, leans head back, we zoom in, and ...

cut to next scene.

I hate that.
