'Doris Day' film proves a rude shock to churchgoing couple
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/afp/afplifestylebritain

LONDON (AFP) - It was when a topless woman appeared on screen speaking Italian that devout Christians Alan and Anne Leigh-Browne realised the Doris Day film they had bought might have been wrongly packaged.


The elderly couple urged the supermarket where they bought the DVD purporting to be "The Pajama Game", the 1957 romantic comedy starring the wholesome US actress, to investigate what went wrong.


"Our biggest concern with the whole episode was that small children could easily have bought the film and been exposed to its content," Alan Leigh-Brown, 67, said on Thursday.

Settling down to watch it, the Leigh-Brownes found themselves instead faced with a raunchy sex title called "Tettore che Passione", or Breasts of Passion.

2. Oh, these poor people...
"It was a pretty raunchy, explicit film, it certainly pulled no punches. My wife and I were very shocked but we watched it until the end because we couldn't believe what we were seeing.

"The film became progressively more graphic, there was no plot to it, it was just sex."

6. Uh-huh I notice they still haven't returned it
;-)

A spokesman for the supermarket urged the couple to return the DVD so the matter could be investigated.

Sometime it's the printer's fault. Or the tapes are duplicated without being properly erased. But The Pajama Game is far from wholesome--there are implications of pre-marital sex and talk of obscene phone calls and "bedroom problems." And they watched the film to the end? Who are these devout Christians trying to kid?

7. I dunno why they're so upset.
Whenever I think of Doris Day, the first thing that pops into my mind is "Breasts of Passion."

the store should investigate the problem. I think that couple got a little more than they bargained for. Hopefully it helped their sex life. :D

13. One time here at work...
my boss(who is female), was letting people borrow a DVD of hers, Sleepers, and when one of the employees(who is also female) finished watching it, and passed it on to me, it was no longer Sleepers, it was porno. I had to explain it to my boss, was quite an embarrassing situation for the woman. I laughed my ass off...and burned a copy of the dvd, it was a 6 hour one!

16. We did that to my inlaws once
set the VCR on Cinemax to tape "Backdraft". Left the tape running and went to bed. Went up to visit the inlaws and gave them the tape. Came back a couple hours later and they were happily watching the movie that had aired right after "Backdraft", some Friday night Cinimax skin flick. OOPS>

Sex movie mix-up shocks couple


A devout Baptist couple who bought a Doris Day DVD from a supermarket were shocked to find a sex film instead.

Alan and Anne Leigh-Browne, from Wellington, Somerset, had been expecting to enjoy The Pajama Game.

Instead they were confronted by Italian sex film - Tettore che Passione, which translates as Breasts of Passion.

"Some topless young women appeared and started talking in Italian... it's not what you expect from a Doris Day film," Mr Leigh-Browne said.

19. That's Great
I bought an audio tape once (John McLaughlin, Birds of Fire) that turned to have some traditional jazz compliation on it -- Louis Armstrong, etc. I guess this stuff happens.

25. Breasts on TV have been no big deal in Britain in the past.
Not sure if the "Janet factor" has affected this in any way.

I remember as a teen seeing breasts in several Monty Python skits on our local PBS station. Now that PBS has gone right-wing, I'm sure they won't make that "mistake" again.

I once ordered a classical CD from BMG Music Service, and instead of The Songs of Samuel Barber inside the jewel box thus labeled, I found José Feliciano's Greatest Hits.

The film was badly photographed, confusingly edited, poorly scored, and featured some of the most atrocious acting I have ever seen...

I awoke once to see "Henry, Portrait of a Serial Killer" on TV. I immediately shut it off. I didn't want to see it, so I turned it off. Simple.

her nipples! In fact I can see the right one but not the left one. Wait! I see that one also. Tsk. Tsk. And her dress is so short I can see her panties! This country just doesn't have any morals anymore that a woman can walk around like that!

on DVD, like these guys did, would you report it? Me, if the movie is good, I would keep it and I wouldn't tell anyone where I got it from. ;) If bad, I would exchange it for something else, and keep it quiet. Why open yourself to ridicule?

46. If it's good, it joins the others in our
modest porn collection on the top shelf of the master bedroom closet.

Then we attempt to buy the movie we thought we were getting in the first place.

If it's bad, it joins the others in our modest porn collection on the top shelf of the master bedroom closet...

Just kidding. If it's bad, we take it back, chuckling.

But we'd probably check out most of it first, just in case there are good parts.

Yeah, we're pervs, whatever.
