SYDNEY: The New Zealand arm of Japanese sports brand Asics has apologised after pornography was broadcast on large television screens above its central Auckland store for several hours, startling Sunday morning shoppers.

Pornography played on the retailer's outdoor screens for up to nine hours – until staff arrived at the shop around 10am on Sunday and switched them off, the New Zealand Herald reported.
