      Comcast Philadelphia was airing a Vatican Good Friday service at 2:00 A.M. Friday morning, when a glitch gave viewers 30 seconds of an ad for "Girls Gone Wild." Comcast says the glitch happened because of the emergency broadcast alert system.

      Emergency broadcast tests are usually done overnight at Comcast. The emergency alert test automatically switches viewers to a preselected channel which is supposed to provide emergency information. In this case, the channel was in use, airing a "Girls Gone Wild" commercial.

      Only a single viewer complained about the glitch.

      Probably the only viewer who was watching the Vatican Good Friday service.

      Happy Easter, everyone!
