Some NJ children received some graphic and inappropriate birds-and-the-bees education Tues, when Comcast inadvertently replaced a cartoon on Playhouse Disney with an X-rated porno film in an undisclosed number of northern NJ homes.

A spokesman for the MSO’s eastern division issued an apology for the error and said an investigation into the cause has yet to deliver definitive answers. Disney said Comcast has taken full responsibility for the incident and has requested assurances from the MSO that measures are being taken to prevent a reoccurrence.
