switched said:As is the case with so many parents, one woman in the Tampa Bay area recently thought it would be a great idea to give her son a new Sony PSP as a late Christmas gift. She had no way of knowing how wrong she would wind up being.
Six-year-old Eliso Tovar had just turned on his new, prized possession when a picture of a naked woman appeared on the screen, My Fox Tampa Bay reported Sunday. Eliso, who was afraid that he would be in trouble, ran to his mother crying. Tamatha Tovar was shocked when she found hundreds of pornographic pictures on a memory card inside the PSP. Stunned and upset, Tovar called the Wal-Mart where she had purchased the game system. She later told the TV reporter, "I explained the situation and [the manager's] response was, well bring the machine down and we'll let your son pick out a new game. And I was like, no I don't think you heard what I said."
The most likely scenario is that someone returned the PSP to the Wal-Mart store having left their own illicit-image-filled data card in the system. Either way, you can bet that this is a late Christmas gift that little Eliso, and his entire family, will never forget. Hey, at least it wasn't Ecstasy! [From: My Fox Tampa Bay]
fox said:BRADENTON - It's a late Christmas gift one Bay Area mother says they should've left under the tree: a Play Station portable she says contained hundreds of pornographic images.
Like most children, Eliso Tovar loves video games. So his mom Tamatha bought a Playstation Portable for a late Christmas present at a Wal-Mart in Manatee County.
What happened next would shock the entire family. Saturday, when the 6-year-old boy turned it on for the first time, he says a naked woman appeared on the screen saver. Afraid he would be grounded, Tovar ran to his mom crying.
"I showed it to my mom, and I ran back to my room…she said I'm not in trouble," says Eliso.
Tamatha says she found a memory card inside the P.S.P. containing hundreds of pornographic pictures. She says it's not hers and it was in the P.S.P. before she opened the box. Tamatha called the store wanting to speak with a manager about the problem.
"I explained the situation and his response was, well bring the machine down and we'll let your son pick out a new game. And I was like, no I don't think you heard what I said," says Tamatha.
Tovar says she thinks someone returned the P.S.P. and left the memory chip inside.
FOX 13 spoke with a Wal-Mart spokesperson and she says they're concerned about the situation and are looking into what happened. Sony Computer Entertainment America makes the P.S.P. We tried contacting them for comment but they were out of the office.
