New mobile 'came with pr0n'

    A Dick Smith Electronics customer was reportedly "sickened" to discover her new mobile phone contained sexually explicit photos of a female employee from the store.

    The Cairns woman found the pornographic shots among 49 images already stored on the phone when she bought it, the Daily Telegraph reports.

    The explicit shots showed the female employee lying on a bed naked from the waist down and performing a sex act, and a man holding his penis.

    The woman is also seen wearing a Dick Smith Electronics staff uniform while standing outside the store.

    "It's sickening to think I've been using this phone near my face," the customer, an unnamed university student, was quoted by the Telegraph as saying.

    "What people do in their own homes is their business. But I'm disgusted it was left on the shelf to be sold."

    The mobile phone she bought was a display model, the last one in stock, and she later complained about the phone's audio quality.

    The customer then accessed the phone’s menu and discovered the explicit photos.

    A Dick Smith Electronics spokesperson said the company was investigating the incident and that the female staff member would not comment.

    Now I've heard of getting a free cover or a headset with the phone but free pr0n? Fantastic!

    Have you ever received any unexpected extras with an item you purchased? (Doesn't necessarily have to be pr0n)

    I got two bicycle reflectors instead of one in my Corn Flakes on more than one occasion. Not as good as porn but then at 5 years of age, I probably wouldn't have had too much use for porn.

    Your woman complained about the pr0n? PC gone mad I tells ya, a few years ago if this had of happened you would have kept your mouth shut and went back and winked at that employee.

    When Perri used to have the money or free bags of crisps tokens in the bag. I got 5 tokens in the one bag. :) I got four free bags of crisps and one was a 10 pound note from what I remember.
    Then there was the other time when I was much younger, found a large lump of salt in my Chipsticks, complained and a lorry drove up to our house a few weeks later with several boxes of crisps.

    Personally, no. But I have heard of some chaps purchasing a Manchester based football club recently and getting some free unrealistic expectations with it.

    When I got my phone it had a pic of what appeared to be the assembly line in whatever sweatshop it was put together it. Thought it was pretty cool but now I'm dissappointed I didn't get naked sweatshop workers instead.

    I saw something very similar:
    I worked in a mobile phone retailer and we had loan phones to give out to people when their phones went away from repair. We gave out a loan phone to a guy and the next day he came back into the store with steam pouring from his ears. It turns out the phone was for his young son and there were some naughty pictures on it from whoever last had the phone on loan. It took a huge amount of smooth talking from the manager but needless to say, he wasn't a happy chap when he left.

    Yeah -
    Myself & Himself rented out the film "swordfish" when it came out years ago, brought it home, put into the player,....

    And some very very dodgy old school like 70's porn and murder flick was recorded over the film....
    Not even good porn...

    Just good we didnt wait to put on the video as O/H much younger nephew was coming over to watch the film and have dinner... ..,

    bought a jacket and got a free packet of silica, made my day:D

    Bought The Only One I know by the Charlatans many years ago and there were two copies of the record in the sleeve.

    Good, but still not as good as free phone pron.

    Somebody bought an iPhone and found out it it came preloaded with pictures of a cute iPhone factory worker. That's her there! I think this is the just the impetus I needed to finally make the iPhone switch. I hope I get some factory photos too!

    The quality is way too good to be taken with an iPhone. FAIL

    Shes a tool and even has her cuteness stripped from her.

    Flashing peace signs automatically makes you a tool.


    Free fone porn ftw though.

    Could've been worse, you could have subjected him to John Travolta in Swordfish.

    A laptop was sold in another branch of a shop I worked in a few years back that evidenatlly had been returned with animal pornj of some discription on it. Whoever took it back never reformatted it. AFAIR the guy only had it a day but there was thousands of pics.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,110 ✭✭✭Aodan83


    Friend of mine was gettin his phone fixed a few years ago and the nice shop people gave him a different one to use while he was waitin. Seemingly they had given it to a few people coz there was a picture of another guy in my class on the phone when he got it. twere funny.
    Bought a laptop of a guy in the free ads in the paper once. said he was some kind of civil servant. had loads of peoples personal details and stuff on it.

    Same thing happened to me. I bought a pair of shoes but it wasnt silica (whatever that is) but it turned out that someone had left a salt packet in there.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,420 ✭✭✭JaneyMc


    I had a woman come in to me before in my old job complaing that her 9 year old daughters "brand new" phone had indecent images on it. She had gotten it from Santy the day before and hadn't told her Mother untill later on that night about the pictures and videos (they were very very VERY graphic).

    Turns out my idiotic manager had taken the phone back in after the first buyer wasn't happy with it, never restored it to factory settings, but sold it on anyway.

    A friend of a friend (I'm well connected) was telling me that he ordered a PC from Dell, and they do that thing where you list what you want in the computer and stuff, like what size hard drive or whatever and when he got it, there was this weird noise coming from it. He opened the casing of the PC and there was an empty coke can inside it :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,005 ✭✭✭✭Toto Wolfcastle


    I got a phone with a load of phone numbers already in it, including one for a church somewhere. The box had been sealed properly so maybe whoever made it wanted to send me a message.

    My friend started to watch Beowulf and instead of the actual movie, he got girl-horse porn.

    "It's sickening to think I've been using this phone near my face,"
    That's the best line from the article tbh. She should have checked the picture gallery first to see the recommended use.

    All the Boards.ie perverts are just going to keep an empty Beowulf DVD box beside them next time they're busy playing the pork quintet - for the perfect excuse :p
