Tucson Dad Buys Nintendo DS For Kids, Finds It’s Packed With Porn [Video]
Tucson, AZ – A Tucson father bought a refurbished Nintendo DS for his kids, but as he booted it up to set parental controls, he found that the portable gaming device was packed with pornography.
Cameron Willett bought the Nintendo DS from a Tucson GameStop, and was appalled when he found it packed to the gills with pornographic images, reports AZFamily. “Multiple pictures, multiple positions, just not a good Christmas present,” said Willett.
Willet returned the Nintendo DS to the GameStop he bought it from, demanding to know why there were pornographic images on the device. They said they had no idea how pornographic images ended up on the device (hello, refurbished!) but that they would look into it (which is corporatespeak for “here’s a new Nintendo DS, please go away now”).
“We are currently researching this transaction and our top priority is to try and make this right for our customers,” said GameStop in a statement. “We have a process in place to ensure that existing content is removed before they are resold.”
Does that statement sound familiar? This whole story should sound familiar, actually. It’s not the first time this exact thing happened this Christmas season. We reported a week ago on a Colorado dad named Mark Giles who also found X-rated images on a Nintendo 3DS intended for his kids. Scratch that: His son actually found the porn and dutifully reported it to his dad.
Cameron Willett’s kin were much more fortunate than the Giles family.
“If she would have saw those, it would have, I mean God, I’m glad she didn’t, I don’t know what I would have done,” Willett said.
Pretty much the only response to finding porn on a Nintendo DS, Mr. Willett.
