WOODBURY, New Jersey (AP) -- A couple who says their 4-year-old daughter saw hard-core pornography on a PG-rated movie tape from Blockbuster has sued the video company.

The plaintiffs, who were not identified, said the footage appeared on a "Home Alone 3" tape rented April 7 from a Glassboro store.

The pornographic material allegedly appeared for 10 minutes after the movie credits for the 1997 film.

According to the lawsuit field in Superior Court, Blockbuster "had a responsibility and a duty to inspect, monitor and ensure the quality and propriety of all video products purchased by its customers."

Randy Hargrove, a spokesman for Dallas-based Blockbuster Inc., said Friday that the company does not carry X- or NC-17-rated movies, and depends on renters to return a tape "in the same condition it was given to them."

"Unfortunately there are those rare instances when someone will abuse that privilege and damage one of our tapes," he said.

Haha, the video store can't exactly check every tape when it's returned in the unlikely case that it might have porn on it...

It probably was. If you put tape over the slot where the tab was you can then record over the tape.

Yeah your right.

I dont think its really blockbusters fault.

I mean I didnt know they were supposed to check the videos....and if they had known it was on there of course they wouldnt have let the person borrow it.

damn, that couple is lucky. If they win the case I'm sure they will get a whole lot of money

 

[$teauA]

the couple probably taped some porn over the home alone tape and then said that it was already there, they prolly need some cash

 

[shokz]

Oh no, I have an erection now, go away!.

 

[davestarke]

Wow, doesn't take you much shokz!

Anyways this is so stupid that they expect Blockbuster to check the entire video from start to finish for porn, I mean the amount of man-power that would be needed for that is sooo unrealistic... Tho it would not be a bad job

If they asked to hire you to check their porn vids, I bet you would.

Hell you'll probably check them for free.
