A viewer in Boston was hoping to watch Anthony Bourdain’s foodie travelogue ‘Parts Unknown’, but claims she saw THIS instead.
Is it ‘a viewer’ or ‘the’ viewer? Something like that.
CNN accidentally aired a half hour of porn instead of Anthony Bourdain’s ‘Parts Unknown’ – spicing up Thanksgiving night, a Boston viewer has claimed.
The viewer posted several photos of her screen on Twitter, showing how she was expecting to tune in for Bourdain’s travelogue but was met with explicit images of porn star Riley Quinn instead. She also reached out to her cable provider, RCN, asking for explanations.
The porn movie, according to the user, went on for at least 30 minutes. She first saw it on CNN around 10:30 pm, watched something else, and kept checking periodically until the channel blacked out completely at 11 pm.
‘The RCN cable operator in Boston aired inappropriate content for 30 minutes on CNN last night. CNN has asked for an explanation,’ a CNN spokesperson told the DailyMail.com.
But RCN has denied that its feed was compromised last night in Boston.

Twitter users had fun with the mistake:
Will this story hold up under scrutiny? That depends partly on whether anyone still actually watches CNN, and can corroborate it.
This does prompt a question if the claim turns out to be true.
The pornographic images were of a transsexual, right? Will whoever made the programming error be invited to the White House and be loudly praised for his / her ‘brave’ defense of LBGT issues?
It wouldn’t be hard to imagine.
