Used game copy yields pornographic drawings inside |
Listed in: News Tags: GameStop
It's nothing new, but it's still always a cause for concern - especially for parents - when shenanigans like this happen. Apparenlty, a mother found pornographic drawings inside her 6-year-old boy's copy of Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games.
The copy was already used and bought from GameStop. Recounted Traci Turner, her son suddenly yelled upon finding the explicit drawings inside the cover. "They were extremely inappropriate. It was very sexual in nature and I was not prepared to answer the questions of what was going on in the picture."
She immediately reported the situation to the GameStop branch where they bought the copy from, but all they got was a "Thank you for calling" and then the dial tone.
To make things worse, the scene went down while his son had his playmates over, and so they too saw the sexual images. "It was kind of shocking because I expected them ot have more of a reaction like I did. Like, 'Oh my gosh, you can bring it to us. I apologize." For their part, the GameStop employee did maintain that she gave out an apology to Turner about the unfortunate incident.
With this experience, the lesson that she now learned is to never buy used games and instead get new ones. GameStop has always been a strong advocate of used games, saying that it actually does help the industry.

no, the lesson is to take a look thru the material first before giving it to a 6 year old. once again, one instance out of millions, and ALL used games are to blame.

As for the so called Porn... My guess it's some drawling some KID!!! did "Not real porn" and the Mom overreacted like all overprotective mom's do.
She could have easily just took them tossed them in the trash and been done with it, Crazy people like this just make me mad.
people like this is why kids stay in there house just playing video games all day, And when they get older the mom's can't understand why he wont get a JOB!!

You can't expect GameStop to check through every manual to see if someone has left something in there. All they do is open the case, check the disc isn't mauled (you wouldn't think so from some discs!) and then close the case.

The only things that we wipe clean in terms of previous user content are systems and memory cards, we have found pornographic images on DS, PSP, PS3, and Xbox360 systems... so ALL systems get a factory reset... and all memory cards get formatted...

I wouldn't be surprised if this didn't actually happen, and that they were paid to do this.

then again, people are stupid enough to make a connection to unrelated shit.

Also, article said, "Recounted Traci Turner, her son suddenly yelled upon finding the explicit drawings inside the cover." Although, that quote sounds like bullshit. What kid is gonna be so freaked out by mere nudity that he screams?
Other than those two small points, yeah, the lady is dumb and needs stick-in-assectomy.
