Man Renting "Smurfs 2" From Nor Cal Redbox Gets Hardcore Porn Instead

ISLETON, Calif. (KCRA) —A Rocklin man who rented a "Smurfs 2" DVD from Redbox was shocked to pop in the disc and instead find pornography.

The movie rental company is now working with law enforcement to prosecute whomever is responsible for disguising the porn as a kids movie. The film has since been turned over to police.

"So, this is what I got from the Redbox movie -- looks just like Smurfs Part Two," said James Terry on Wednesday as he held the disc, hanging out on his boat in Isleton.

He was on the same boat when he put the movie into his DVD player earlier this week.

"I saw girls in bikinis at first, and I was like, what am I watching?" Terry said. "And then it became more and more disturbing, with hardcore porn."

I think there have been previous stories where it has turned out that the story was a setup.

Which is not to say THIS didn't happen exactly as it's being reported, but... I am skeptical.

Boy, it would be really surprising to find out that someone involved in this is affiliated with, say, Netflix, wouldn't it?...

while wanting to watch "smurfs 2" (only god knows why?), he didn't stop watching when he saw the women in bikinis and only then, after that, did it go into hard core porn.

Man: (must be said in Homer Simpson voice) Hmmm, live action Bikini's. this is an interesting take on the smurf genre. This must be the foreign version.

I kept waiting for the story to mention something about kids.
