    "On Christmas Day I was angry," Krista Greider said. "I was very upset about it and now I'm just confused on how it happened." Greider told us that she bought the game at Target the week before Christmas and even had to have a store associate unlock a case to purchase it. "Obviously this isn't Target's fault," Greider said. "They didn't manufacture it but I feel they as a distributor they should take some responsibility to get to the bottom of it so this doesn't continue to happen." Greider's daughter, Mackenzie Blankenship, 7, got the Nintendo Wii U console on Christmas Eve from her family. On Christmas morning she got the Nintendo Wii U game Splatoon as a gift from Santa. Hours later, in the afternoon, Greider removed the plastic wrap so her daughter could open the case. The disc Mackenzie saw inside was not the game, but the DVD “Sensual Seductions 2.” "I looked over her shoulder and I grabbed it," Greider said. "Saw the picture on it and she was just 'Why? What is that? Why are they naked?’"

    "I was really upset," Mackenzie said. "I said, 'Why did Santa get me this?' [My mom] had to tell me it wasn't him." "She cried a little bit," Greider said. "I had to explain to her a little bit that Santa's elves don't make the video games. They actually get them from the real stores and it had to have been a mix-up that Santa didn't know about it." Greider reached out to Target on social media and got a call the day after Christmas with an apology and a gift card offer for the value of the game. "I'm not OK with getting a gift card," Greider said. "I want to know how it happened and make sure that it goes up the flagpole and that Nintendo is made aware of it. [Target] said they'd pass it along and somebody would get back to me and I haven't heard anything since."

    We reached out to Target and Nintendo for comment but the corporate offices were closed for the holiday. A Target manager did tell us that all games and DVDs come into the store packaged and the store cannot sell anything unsealed to a customer. "You just wonder, how often does this happen and is anything being done to correct it?," Greider said.

    Ok, first of all if this happened to me, I would probably be on the line IMMEDIATELY (if not sooner) to Nintendo customer service. Secondly, wtf? I mean I'm ok with porn, but if I want a game I BUY A GAME. If I want porn: I BUY A porn (NOT THAT I do mind you, just saying. Razz ). And for it to be inside a kid's video game? Yea, I am kind of glad that I don't shop at Target to begin with anyway. So my guess is that Target is the issue here, not Nintendo.

    I'm guessing someone on the hot seat did this on the night shift to make Christmas worse for someone. On the other hand someone could have just made up the story to get a free gift card with how cheep people like being in this current age.

    Most peculiar. Certainly an unfortunate mixup on Christmas day. Either Nintendo or Target must have slipped that in there. Though a Target managed claimed they get their games and DVDs packaged and can't unseal them, so Nintendo most likely did it? Either way, someone must be risking their job. Perhaps as some sort of joke or a real accident, it seems more likely to be deliberate from whoever packaged the DVD.

    Well, I can't see why someone at Nintendo would have done this, especially for just one copy of the game. The most likely scenario would be someone at the production plant did this, or an employee at Target broke the rules and switched it. (which honestly to me seems like what would happen) I do still think Target should fully refund this person with another copy of the game AND the gift card, and Nintendo should do something as well.

    Idk, I kind of agree with Gameguy. A lot of people said the same thing on facebook which is where I found the original article which linked to this story I posted. I mean I don't really know the person they interviewed & who's to say they didn't switch the dvd inside the game case themselves? From what I've been reading, it's not a very hard thing to do anymore. Re-shrink wrapping stuff seems to be easy peesy according to how some people come off about it.

    Still, at the end of it all I'd rather believe that neither Nintendo distribution or the woman is at fault for any of this & that Target would be at fault here. Though these are my own feelings since I've never been much of a fan of their's since the start anyway. Impo, Target is really just a over priced version of Kmart.
