Do you guys remember when that American supermarket got in massive trouble for blasting porn over the tannoy? Yeah, that was a pretty big fuck up.
Well, that’s nothing compared to what happened at this Welsh funeral. The grieving family of a father and his son, who died in a car crash, went to watch a video of what they thought was a tribute to their loved ones. Instead the congregation was confronted with some seriously hardcore porn.
Simon Lewis, 33, died in the accident on New Year’s Eve when he was in the car with his then pregnant wife and 3-year-old daughter. The son died 3 days later when he had to be born by emergency caesarean section.
Really tragic story right? The funeral must have been difficult enough, especially for the wife and daughter.
Apparently hundreds of people gathered at the funeral in Cardiff, but were absolutely horrified when hardcore porn was mistakenly blasted on the TV screen.
One attendant said:
It was absolutely disgusting, the priest turned around to play the video of Simon, but instead a hardcore pornography video was played on the big screen.
Everyone was in shock, Simon’s father-in-law was furious, he shouted at the staff present and told them to turn it off.
It took them nearly four minutes to turn it off, people couldn’t believe what they were seeing.
Four minutes? All they had to do was press the off button. The priest said that they even had to get an engineer in.
The whole thing was put down to some kind of “electronic accident”. Don’t even know how that could have happened but Cardiff council said that one of the four TV screens had recently been replaced and may have picked up a broadcast from a Bluetooth or WiFi connection.
Wow. I mean of all the things it could have picked up, it had to be hardcore porn. Not sure how the friends and family took it after the initial shock but I am guessing not too well. That must have been even more awkward than the time that horse dropped dead during a funeral march. Just what you need at a funeral — more death.
