And no, this is NOT from personal experience!

The incident on March 3 sparked about a dozen angry calls to the Tahiti Nui television network.
General director of TNTV Haupert Ives said the technician was suspended from work without pay for a week after the mix-up.
Mr Ives said about three minutes of the adult program made it to air of which 52 seconds was explicit porn.
"It is funny, yes, but not really to us," Ives said.
The error happened about 2pm, 20 minutes after a religious program on the channel ended.
He said the staff member made two errors that resulted in part of the porn movie making it to air.
"He had to tape a program coming in from satellite from Paris. During this time he looked at some adult programs on another channel," Ives said.
"He didn't see that he taped not the program that came in by satellite, but the channel he was looking at. This program was taped on the server on the computer.
"His second error was that he didn't verify the program. Normally after you tape the program and afterwards it is verified," Mr Ives said.
