Comcast, the cable company whose Super Bowl broadcast exposed thousands of Arizona viewers to 30 seconds of pay-per-view porn, has partnered with the FBI to investigate the incident, the Arizona Daily Star reports. The company has denied responsibility for the “malicious act,” which included the display of a man’s nether regions. “Our investigation has proven that our technical systems were working properly,” a spokeswoman said.

“We have shared all of our information on this situation with the FBI,” Comcast said, “and will continue to provide our full cooperation to them throughout their investigation.” (More Super Bowl XLIII stories.)
