Hard stuff Interrupts TV Documentary
Thu June 19, 2003 09:52 AM ET
BERLIN (Reuters) - German viewers of a TV documentary on the human body got more detail than they bargained for when the program was interrupted by scenes of hardcore sex, a cable channel said on Thursday.
Scores of outraged science fans called XXP TV to complain after an episode from the BBC's "Superhuman" series examining respiratory disorders was replaced by images of group sex from the Spice Platinum channel involving one man and several women.
Monika Weitkamp of the Berlin-based documentary channel said the cable carriers had mixed up the feeds. The voiceover for the documentary, dubbed into German, continued during the pornographic interlude.
"A lot of people watching it with their kids called up in a rage to complain. They'd probably never seen anything like it in their lives," she said.

I thought pornography was more accepted over there?
I don't know what I would have done. I mean, if you don't seek it out, but instead it comes to you, then it doesn't really count, does it?

stuff is widely accepted in Euro., my first time overseas, now bear in mind, here I am, first time off the Apache Reservation, we pulled into Naples Italy, had a few beers, needed a *nature break* walked into a public restroom and there was a woman in a stall with no doors, I thought "Ah MAN.....HOW MANY beers did I have?" Come to find out, ALL public restrooms are bisexual, no mens, no womens, they are ALL IN ONE, WHEW! Now......I have to agree, if this happened here, think I'd throw the TV out the window and just listen to music 100% of the time!
