12:30 PM -- An Arizona man accused of inserting a 37-second porn clip into the 2009 Super Bowl broadcast between the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers pled guilty on two counts of computer tampering, AP reported Thursday.

As a reminder, Comcast Corp. (Nasdaq: CMCSA, CMCSK) subs in Tucson watching the big game on KVOA in standard-def got the big surprise. Comcast offered a $10 credit to all 80,000 subs in the area. (See Super Bowl Interruptus .)

Making an already strange case even stranger, Frank Tanori Gonzalez, the man accused of performing Super Bowl-interruptus, was a Cox Communications Inc. employee who "was working as a liaison with Comcast at the time of the incident," the AP noted, citing authorities. You just can't find good help anymore.

He pled it down to three years' probation and a $1,000 fine. The charge will be downgraded to a misdemeanor from a felony if Frankie-boy can keep it on the straight and narrow.

Seems like a slap on the wrist for something that made Janet Jackson's "wardrobe malfunction" during the halftime show of Super Bowl XXXVII look like a bit of child's play.
