While the “CNN streaming porn” incident may have been an isolated incident or even a hoax, the Asics porn incident was a real event witnessed by many people.
This is completely different from the screens displayed for MS Windows operating systems in Apple stores.
It was intense sex.
If you think this is crazy enough, you are dead wrong. The Asics porn event took place in Auckland, New Zealand, from 1am to 10am at their flagship store.
The hackers managed to break into the Japanese company’s systems and spent the next nine hours streaming pornographic content… not inside the building. But on giant window screens facing the street.
When members of the public saw the flashing, obscene images, most ran away, but a few stopped to watch.
“I took another look because I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.” A woman said.
“It’s totally inappropriate and offensive and you don’t want to expose children to that kind of stuff.” another netizen commented.
The store’s official review was so “stiff” that it was laughable.
“An unidentified person gained access to the screen above our store in Auckland Central and displayed objectionable content on the screen.”
As soon as the manager saw what was happening, he ran to the control panel and ripped out the cables.
Asics Porn Error. It’s more “common” than you think…
It’s easy to imagine that something like this only happens once in a while—maybe a prank by a disgruntled employee or a strange series of events. But it happens more often than you think.
Another example is when Washington state news channel KERM2 was airing a simple weather report. Meteorologist Michelle Boss (great name, by the way) was talking about the upcoming cold/heat front, and at 6:30 pm (October 17, 2021) viewers were treated to a 13-second clip of hardcore porn.
The thing is, the news anchor can’t see what’s happening on the screen behind him. It’s just a carefully orchestrated stream of scripts and images in the tech room behind the scenes. So, Boss keeps talking with a big smile on his face, completely unaware of what’s happening behind him.
However, the Asics story here takes a different path from this one.
Because the “hot” weather segment aired on national television, it attracted a much larger audience (of all ages) than would have been possible if the show had aired on storefront screens.
“The Spokane Police Department Special Victims Unit responded to a local news outlet on Sunday evening after disturbing images/video appeared on viewers’ screens during the station’s weather report,” the Spokane Police Department said in a statement.
Needless to say, the relevant police stations were flooded with calls informing them of what had happened. Additionally, KERM immediately apologized for the “misstep” during its 11 p.m. show.
Here is a screenshot of the official statement…

“An inappropriate video was shown in the first part of the show. We are working hard to ensure this doesn’t happen again.” “The anchor said.
The Spokane Police Department also quickly intervened in the case and took all measures to investigate.
“Staff at the station are fully cooperating with SPD to try to determine exactly what happened.”
So, you might be wondering what the consequences of this are and for whom?
The FCC then publicly announced that they might fine the station for including adult content. The Spokesman-Review also added that a similar incident occurred at a station in Roanoke, Virginia in 2012.
Ultimately, it doesn’t matter who gave the show an X-rated rating. What matters is whether it gets through. The outlet violated federal law by airing “Broadcasting of indecent programmes between 6am and 10pm with a risk of children being present.” The FCC has made its ruling, The Roanoke Times reported.
The New York Post reported that the station was ultimately fined $325,000, “the largest fine ever imposed for a single obscene broadcast at the time.”
At present, the media has not disclosed who is responsible for this, only reporting that the news station was fined.
And then there is Discord…
For those who don’t know about this platform, it’s basically a website for gamers and others to communicate. It’s often used in conjunction with Twitch and YouTube in order for streamers to reach a wider audience or make money.
If you ever play around with these chats, you’ll quickly notice that it can bring out the worst in the internet. There are protections in place (like content filters), but inappropriate content still finds its way into the streams — and a whole bunch of minors are watching. Plus, no amount of punishment can really stop the trolls.
Now, there are intentional adult content groups on Discord. But the groups for that kind of content actually do a better job of limiting who can join — at least compared to regular live streams.
in the end…
It’s true that regular channels can’t block adult content. Based on the few examples in this article, it’s clear that if someone really wants to upload content that’s inappropriate for the platform, they can. This could still be a fluke that parents shouldn’t freak out about. But it’s also a good reminder to be more vigilant about children’s media consumption.
