Target sells memory card with nudie pix...buyer traumatized for life

Updated Thu, Jan 5, 2006, 3:50 AM·1 min read

It's not the first time someone has been surprised to find some fleshy pics on their electronics, and it certainly won't be the last. Aleta Kelley of Tucson was, quote "shocked I mean absolutely shocked, there is no other word" to find nearly 80 nude and graphic photos of a middle-aged woman on her supposedly new memory card she purchased at Target. Apparently in preparation for her bizillion-dollar lawsuit, she goes on spewing, "to me this is traumatizing, for my daughter this was traumatizing. It's horrifying to think if my granddaughter had gotten this." Of course you know what this means don't you? Target memory card sales are about to skyrocket!
