Default Dad: Child's MP3 Player Came With Porn

Man Says MP3 Player He Bought 10-Year-Old Daughter for Christmas Was Preloaded With Porn





A father gave his 10-year-old daughter a Christmas present that would make Santa blush.

Now Daryl Hill wants to know why an MP3 video player he bought at a Wal-Mart in Sparta was preloaded with pornography and explicit songs.

Hill bought three of the players as Christmas presents for his children. He said one of the devices had apparently been returned to the store from a previous owner who loaded sex clips and songs with lyrics about using drugs.

"Within 10 minutes, my daughter was crying," Hill said Thursday. "I wish I could take the thoughts and images out of her head."

Hill questioned why Wal-Mart Stores Inc. would sell used merchandise as new, which he said violates its own policies.

A company spokesman said in an e-mail to WSMV-TV of Nashville that stores are not supposed to return opened packages to the sales floor and that the matter was under investigation.

Hill said he declined Wal-Mart's offer to replace the MP3 player. He said he has already bought his daughter a new one and is hanging onto the controversial one until he talks to a lawyer.

I'll bet POP'S showed it to every male buddy he's got.

Seriously I know one Wal-Mart employee caually and she's not the "Sharpest Knife in the Drawer ".

So during Xmas a popular item got taken off backroom shelf by a simular above posted employee and sold to that guy.

He bought it knowing it had been opened.

I'm most curious as to what kind of porn is it that made the girl cry. Hardcore SM?

Or is just that the girl was particularly sensitive, or particularly indoctrinated. Or is the crying all about the realization the MP3 wasn't brand new?

I mean, sure it is bad that this happened, but what kind of naked body were shown to make anyone cry...

Laws are one thing, reality is another. Before my current job I worked as salesman in an electronic chain shop, a huge one. It was regular policy to put items that were not obviously broken back into the shelf and being sold as "new", which violated not only company policies (those being told tpo the public at least), but broke legal laws. Also, every morning stickers saying something like "Tip", "Top-selling item", "test victor" were distributed to the shelves arbitrarily, depending on the number of items on stock as the manager saw them on his PC screen. the things usually were neither somebody'S tip nor selling well nor had they won any kind of testing. I do not buy items "sealed" by scotch tape, only original producer's seals, or packages shrink-wrapped by machinery, not by hand.

Was a bad job anyway, I left after just six weeks.

Hey now. If you've never seen that sort of stuff it can sure confuse (and thereby upset) the hell out of you. Not to overblow the "virgin mind" thing, but try to see it from a sheltered 10-year-old's perspective. :p

You'd be surprised, but many young children react to images of interacting couples like that kid did. for kids around 4 or 5 it even is the regular norm, I woild say. For their minds it are just images of strange biological violance, or so it appears to them. To hear a woman moan in pleasure or a man as well is a sign of pain and suffering for them, and thus indicates a situation of harm and danger.
