matcom news: Mom buys DVD player at Wal-Mart, finds porn in drive

[Initech]

(3/30/06 - KTRK/CLEVELAND, TX) - A Cleveland area mother is outraged and offended after getting more than what she paid for at a local Wal-Mart store.

Shelley Bettis say she's now forced to answer questions she was not ready to answer because her children saw things they were too young to see. She bought a DVD player, but also got pornography.

Bettis and her three children just wanted to watch Bambi II Tuesday afternoon, but before Shelley could load the DVD in the new Apex player she had just bought, something else popped up on the screen, and it was a far cry from Bambi.

"I don't even want to tell you what I saw," said Bettis.

Already inside the player, Shelly says, was a DVD. The label was so graphic that we can't even show it to you. The material on it is pornography.

"I was floored," she said. "I felt my heart hit the ground that my children had to see that. I was disgusted."

All three of her children, the youngest just eight years old, saw the first few seconds of the DVD before Shelley lunged for the player to turn it off. Thirteen-year-old Taylor watched sex acts she didn't even know about.

1. Oooops.

Bet somebody bought it, left the DVD in it, returned it, then WalMart carefully repackaged it to resell it as new--which is pretty slimy, but we're talkin' WalMart.

4. "Slimy"? Every store resells returns that aren't returned as defective.

As long as they're in the same condition as when purchased, all packaging put back in place, etc.

2. Walmart didn't even check inside???

My confidence is so inspired by Walmart's quality control. :)

7. We rented the DVD of that Enron film at Blockbuster...

...and got a beat-up Beyonce CD in the box along with our movie. Go figure.

12. lol..I have that movie...you want a copy?

[liontamer]

3. i'm curious

as to what kind of porn in the first few seconds depicts sex acts that a 13 year old has never even heard of. I think when the mom calms down this will be a funny story.

14. Lots of companies

put a promo for their movies at the beginning of the movie, so I don't doubt that they could have seen HC sex at the beginning of the movie.

Well, that is after sitting through the 2257 notice anyway.

5. You can almost hear one of the kids.

"Mommy! There's a naked man and naked woman on TV! Mommy, what are they doing?"
"EEWWWW! It looks icky!"
Looks as if she going have to give "The Talk" to the kids a little earlier than she wanted.
Ha ha!

6. Walmart shoppers prefer jenna

8. LOL. Send it to me!

I feel her pain. But come on - it's hilarious!

9. I personally think it's bogus.

Just like the finger in the Wendy's chili last year. I think this lady is full of shit.

As someone else pointed out, unknown sex acts portrayed without time to even turn off the system?

I mean, usually there's 20 seconds of plot at the beginning. It takes time to answer the door for the pizza guy.

13. well, er....ummmm....

not that i would know or anything, but the previews at the beginning of the tape get RIGHT into it. and being a DVD the menu page probably has a repeating loop of "highlights" of each scene or some such.

:evilgrin:

19. My buddy once had a dvd player break while he was watching xxx

I forgot what he did with his dvd player. I know that he was very embarresed about the disk and I am not sure how he resolved it.
