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.

hmm, blockbusters fault? id probably vote in favor of giving the family money, of course BB will most likely settle im sure. They cant watch every fucking video that comes in, but for christ sake they charge too damn much, they charge me if the shits not rewound yet half the shit you rent isnt rewound ... then if its after 12pm the fucking late fee. slimeballs.

home alone 3? probably better than matrix 3

sue the mother for using the television as a babysitter and then getting pissed off 'cause she wasn't there to stop her young child from watching the porn some lame ass recorded at the end of the tape
