Well, we don't know about you but we imagine someone lost their job after this embarrassing incident! A Swedish TV station was left seriously red-faced after they accidentally broadcast porn in the background of a news programme. Awkward!
Yes, viewers who tuned in to watch a discussion about Russia's involvement in the Syrian crisis were instead treated to an eyeful of some, ahem, incredibly erotic material that was being played on a screen directly behind the reporter presenting the programme. (Sure you wouldn't know where to be looking!).
"At first I realised I was looking at a naked woman and it quickly became clear she was having sex. It didn't take long before I realised it was a porn film. The image wasn't exactly in focus, but it wasn't hard to figure out what was going on" said Daniel Ek, a viewer who was watching the programme at the time.
"I had two theories. One is that someone was pissed off after getting fired and put the porno up as an act of revenge. My other thought was that someone had simply screwed up," he said, speaking to newspaper The Local.
According to TV4, the incident was a result of a mix-up in the broadcasting feed, as the station's parent company also operates a series of adult entertainment channels.
"It's not like we were directly broadcasting porn. Put simply, it's crap that it happened. We're going to do everything we can so that it doesn't happen again," said Andreas Haglind, the news editor for TV4.
Could you imagine if something similiar happened on the Six One news? Mortifying!
