MP3 player bought from Wal-Mart preloaded with porn
A father gave his daughter an MP3 video player preloaded with pornography
Father: "Within 10 minutes, my daughter was crying"
The MP3 player had apparently been returned to Wal-Mart by a previous owner
Wal-Marts are not supposed to return opened packages to the sales floor
COOKEVILLE, Tennessee (AP) -- 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.
