Porn Displayed On Best Buy Television, Customer Says She Feels Violated


Recommended Posts

GREENVILLE, S.C. --

Best Buy's corporate office is apologizing for the incident that was apparently witnessed by numerous customers, including young children.

"It was extremely, extremely pornographic image," customer Gloria Berg says. "I think even the word 'pornographic' doesn't cover it. I have never watched pornography, so I don't know what else you can see there, but to me, I really felt extremely violated."

Berg was inside the store with her son and his children. She says they were looking at the store's display of 55-inch screen smart televisions when a pornographic photo of a man and woman suddenly popped up.

She says the image stayed up for several minutes before the manager came over and took it down, and by then, several horrified families had seen it.

She says the manager told her someone had used the store's WI-FI to upload the image to the TV's.

She says the manager told her the same thing had happened the night before and there was nothing the store could do about it.

"They, like, brush it off like it's...who cares? Nobody cares. It's pornography. And we are getting adjusted to that kind of mentality. That's why we are losing our morals," Berg says.

Management at the Greenville Best Buy wouldn't talk to 7 On Your Side about the incident, so we called the corporate office, which sent us the following statement.

"Two individuals accessed our store's wireless signal to broadcast inappropriate content on a smart television display. In both cases, we worked immediately to disable the inappropriate content. We greatly apologize for this unfortunate incident and we are working to ensure that it does not happen again."

Best buy would not tell us if it has identified the individuals behind this, and if so, if it will pursue criminal charges.

But the Berg family has filed a complaint with police for dissemination of pornographic material.

Greenville police say the case hasn't yet been assigned to an investigator, but it will be.

Officials say they would actually need to see the image that was on the TVs to determine if any state or local laws were violated.

They haven't yet contacted Best Buy to see if the image was saved.

Oh for god sake it's just porn. I think people should locate that big long stick poking out their ass and give it a good tug. Porn is just 2 or sometimes 10 people going at it.

The way that woman talked you'd think she has never been naked with anyone or saw anyone naked. Sure it's not the greatest thing to have porn accidently show up on Best Buy TV?s, but you saw it, now get over it!

Why do people always got to overreact to any kind of nudity(whether it be solo or sex) acting like it's the end of the world? it's kinda ridiculous.

nobody tried to turn off the TV? I mean you're so horrified yet you don't try to end the source of it or move away? that makes no sense to me. Plus why did the store manager have to turn it off, was there not an associate in the area who might have seen this and rushed to turn the tv off?

Given she has kids, I suspect she might have done something pornographic in her past ;)

Also, you American's are SUCH PRUDES. It's pathetic D:

Sure it's retarded BS, but people do dumb **** stuff all the time, all you can do is turn it off and apologise. It's not like the entire best buy staff wondered into your house and "violated" you in your sleep >: (

No wonder the Europeans are so much more fun in bed..

At the the local Eagles club in my town, they started playing Beer Pong, on Friday nights. So they put a poster in the front door. It said something about..

"Come get your balls wet"

The goal of beer pong is to toss ping pong balls into beer cups full of beer. One night during a fish fry, a woman came in and told them that poster offended her. I think they tool it down. I told one of the members of the of the club

"Something tells me her husbands balls have never been wet in his life!"

I'll bet she allows her kids to blow people's heads off in FPS games, and take a battle axe and clobber the hell outta orcs in an RPG and set off a nuke to obliterate cities in an RTS game, but show a ###### and it's horrible!!!

If she's never watched porn, how the hell did she know it was porn :shifty:

It was a glitch. Don't know what happened there, Neowin was not updating anything after pressing the Post button. After a 6 min wait I refreshed the page and the same thing happened. Had to switch browsers to finally edit my post. :rofl: indeed.

I'm guessing the picture was probably tub girl.

Anyway, why are the cops involved? What laws were broken? The woman was on private property at will. I'm sure the woman wasn't happy about it but why contact the police?
