Cops had to cover this digital billboard in busy central Madrid after it was
apparently hacked and started showing a pornographic film.
The startling incident took place on Calle Preciados, one of the busiest
shopping streets in the centre of the Spanish capital, Madrid.
In the video, a passerby films the billboard which is showing an explicit
scene featuring porn actor Angel Mejias. Jordi El Nino Polla ('The D*ck
Kid') is Mejias' nickname in the porn industry.
The passerby then says: "That's [pornographic actor Jordi] El Nino Polla,
right?"
Local media report that the screen, belonging to the Clear Channel company,
had to be covered with a blanket by cops after they were called because of
the situation.
Firefighters were also called so that the screen could be turned off.
The screen had reportedly been hacked but no information has been provided
as to who is suspected of hacking the system.
Spanish authorities are investigating how the screen was apparently hacked
and the investigation is still ongoing.
No arrests have been reported. Clear Channel have not commented on the
incident.
Calle Preciados is in Madrid city centre and links the squares of Puerta del
Sol and Callao.
Angel Mejias (known as Jordi) is a pornographic actor from the city of
Ciudad Real in the central-Spanish province of the same name.
