Pay-per-view adult films are still available to purchase through some cable subscriptions. Apparently, it’s best if a man’s best friend doesn’t get a hand of the remote considering they too might have a trigger hand.
One pooch was caught red-handed after he accidentally ordered pay-per-view porn when he got a hold of the television remote. Thomas Barnes claimed his bichon frise named Marino was the one who ordered the Hustler channel, a semi-hardcore pornographic premium television channel when he jumped onto his bed. Yeah, sure Thomas.
When the dog jumped on the bed, he landed on the TV remote and ended up pushing the wrong buttons when attempting to make himself comfortable. After realizing what Marino did, Barnes contacted his satellite provider immediately to explain the situation. He was told the problem would be sorted but later noticed he still had access to the pornographic channel.
When it came time to pay his television bill for the month, the $70 charge for the Hustler channel was included despite explaining the situation to the satellite company. Not wanting to pay for his dog’s mistake, Barnes subtracted the cost of the channel and paid for the normal amount. That didn’t work for the cable company which promptly shut off his service.
“That $70, you’re taking food out of my mouth. It’s like you’re stealing it. They refused to see how that was pertinent.” Barnes needs the additional money because he relies on Social Security disability payments. He contacted the Federal Communications Commission to make a complaint about the charge.
Thankfully, his satellite provider agreed to credit his next bill but Barnes said he is still being forced to pay for the mistake his pup made.
