UPDATE: 11/25.16 at 6:15 p.m.: "Despite media reports to the contrary, RCN assures us that there was no interruption of CNN's programming in the Boston area last night," CNN told Variety.

UPDATE, 11/25/16 at 2:00 p.m.: Jeff Carlson, SVP and General Manager of RCN Boston, told Esquire in a statement:

"We are in the process of researching this incident but see no evidence our CNN network feed was compromised last evening in Boston."


Allegedly, when Twitter user Rose (@solikearose) settled in all full of turkey to watch the new episode of Anthony Bourdain's Parts Unknown last night, she...didn't get to see Parts Unknown. But she certainly saw some parts.

Rose tweeted pictures of her television at around 11:00 PM EST last night, which appeared to be broadcasting a hardcore porn video instead of the new episode. CNN's broadcasting in Boston is provided by local television provider RCN, where someone may have been having some quality time with their right hand.

"I can't wait until @RCNconnects wakes up tmrw & realizes that hardcore porn was broadcast on @CNN instead of @PartsUnknown CNN tonight," Rose tweeted last night before making her account protected.

It took a while for anyone over at RCN to notice, Rose said, so it played for half an hour. It's important to note, though, that Rose seems to be the only person who has provided evidence of this half-hour RCN joyride, so it's possible that it may not have happened at all, but wouldn't it be pretty hilarious if it did?

No word on whether Anthony Bourdain approves of this dish.
