 Doris Day porn shocker!

A devout baptist couple were shocked when what they thought was a 1957 Doris Day film turned out to be a porn film.

But pensioners Alan and Anne Leigh-Browne, from Wellington, Somerset, watched the whole film before complaining.

They had bought the DVD of the 1957 U-certificate Pajama Game for £2.99 from a bargain bin at a Safeway supermarket.

But inside the box was Italian movie Tettore che Passione, which translates as Breasts of Passion, reports the Mirror.

Retired doctor Alan, 67, said: "We knew something was amiss when a warning flashed up on the screen advising under-18s not to carry on watching.

<b>"It was a pretty raunchy, explicit film. It certainly pulled no punches. My wife and I were very shocked, but we watched it until the end because we couldn't believe what we were seeing."</b>

The couple had expected to see the harmless story of a bunch of women workers in a pajama factory.

Alan went on: "Topless women appeared and started talking in Italian. We were horrified. The film became progressively more graphic. There was no plot to it - just sex."

Alan and Anne, 60, a retired teacher, are regulars at their local Baptist church.

Morrisons, which owns the Safeway store in Taunton, has promised to investigate.

I think it is funny that someone probably (accidentally?!) switched the movies, but I really like how they were so shocked they had to watch the whole thing.

We couldn't beleive it, we were horrified, so horrified we had to watch it through and then watch it again just to make sure we hadn't been mistaken the first time.
Then we had to lend it to some close friends of ours to ensure that we weren't imagining things.
Then we linked up two video recorders and made a copy of it so we could remember just how shocked we were at what we saw.
Then we called a newspaper to let the rest of the world know just how disgusted we were. The money wasn't important of course.
As part of their investigation they asked if they could see the tape. They were also disgusted and have asked to keep it in their files.
We were going to complain to the supermarket in question, but it was only 2.99 so we'll let it go. It would be a nice gesture on their part though if they'd send us a free copy of Pajama party or whatever it was we thought we'd bought.

Sometime during the 1970s a terrible tragedy occurred involving Bon Vivant Vichyssoise soup that had become tainted with botulism during manufacture. This contamination was not discovered until four cans of the stuff had made their way to table and poisoned those who upon it supped (at which point the entire Bon Vivant product line was recalled.) A couple in Greenwich, Connecticut-- a banker and his wife-- had been among those unfortunate enough to follow strictly the directions on the label, which instructed the consumer to heat the epicurean delicacy contained within only gently and not let it boil. The banker could not be saved, but his wife survived the ordeal. Interviewed by The NYTimes from her hospital bed, she said about the soup: "It tasted so bad, we could hardly finish it."

A few years ago there was a story in the newspapers here - true or not- about a supermarket chain in Denmark that sold Disney-video's; which turned out to have somehow a clip of an explicit porn movie included. They recalled the video's but not before several parents were quite embarrased

When the movie "Toy Story 2" was released in the U.S. on video & DVD some DVDs had a clip of John Cusak cussing, from the movie "Gross Point Blank." It was determined to be an accident, and it only happened to a few hundred discs.

When I was working at video store, we also rented DVD players. It was like $200 deposit, so hardly anyone rented them. Well, I rented it to someone once, and they brought it back that night b/c they couldn't get it to work. I switched it out for another one, gave them a free rental, & sent them on their way. Another worker & I hooked up the player, & lo & behold...not working. We took the protective case off, unscrewed the player & took the cover off. Inside the player was a porn disc. I called the people who had just rented the player & asked if they think they might have left a disc inside. No...not us. So for the rest of the time that I worked there, my co-worker & I would put it in the player when my manager would be the first to turn on the TVs in the morning...or when we did an inventory. It was a pretty raunch DVD - multiple angles & all.

Hysterically funny though. I saw the co-worker a few weeks ago, (who still works at the video store). She asked whatever happened to it? I told her I put it in the previous assistant manager's "terminated employee" file.

My old boss rented a movie with her husband, thinking they were getting a legal thriller. It turned out to be a porn movie. When she was telling me about it, I just couldn't belive she could be so stupid. It was called 'Lawful Entry' , had a piture of a semi naked woman on the front in a provocative pose and the blurb went something like "Jane Doe is a successful lawyer who will stop at nothing to win a case. So when her opposition in her next case is her husband, she knows she has to pull out all her tricks. Her client Candy is the owner of a raunchy brothel and together they hatch a plan to keep hubby too busy to concentrate on the case"
Or something like that. But she was pretty daft so I guess she could have been mistaken... but somehow I think not.

Lol!! The boxes here usually have the genre printed on the side. Like Fantasy, Horror...YouR first hint that you've got a soft porn film is "Erotic thriller" on the side.

There was a guy we called "Tuesday Guy", b/c he called Monday, to ask what was coming out Tuesday. Even the B films...including the blurbs on all of them. So he rents an erotic thriller, and his mom comes back in and had some sort of fit that we rented to him b/c he's not able to make good judgements on his own. So I was like, "Bad judgement isn't going to get you a refund. He's a legal adult & has a driver's license. Only the manager can refuse service." She was really pissed. The next time he came in he asks for the title his mom had previously ranted about. I tell him where it is...when he brings it back up to the counter he asks me if I had another box I could put it in. "Like a Mickey Mouse movie or something."

I read in a newspaper once about a woman whose abusive husband attacked her, and she shot him numerous times with a semiautomatic pistol. She claimed that she'd pulled it out just to scare him away, but it went off and just kept on firing until the clip was empty. She was so shocked by what had happened that she loaded a whole new clip into it, and, lo and behold, the same thing happened again! And she still couldn't believe that it had happened, and so she loaded yet ANOTHER magazine into the gun, and all those bullets also somehow jumped out of the gun and into her husband (who was probably in rather poor condition by that point). I don't remember hearing what the jury said about her testimony, though.

Oh, and as a little safety note, boiling a can of soup that has had botulism in it does NOT make it safe to eat. Once the food is contaminated, you can only throw it away (or give it to unwelcome visitors). By the time you got it hot enough to destroy the toxins, you would have a little carbonized cinder where the soup used to be.

🙄

I've seen so many...
