Umm, I think you mixed up something. It doesn't say NSFW image is inside until you are inside the article with said NSFW image loaded on screen.
What did you think was going to be in a post which contained the phrase \"Buckets O Cum?\"

We have censored this picture for your delicate sensibilities. If you are a pervert, the uncensored extremely NSFW version is inside.
Censorship Fail. This line was not placed before the break, so no one sees it until they click through.

@zigziggityzoo: Isn't \"Buckets of Cum\" kind of a tell tale sign that it isn't? You think your boss would have a different view point if it said NSFW, or the fact that you viewing an article with \"Buckets of Cum\" in the headline?
You really can't blame anyone else for your own stupidity.
\"Why didn't anyone tell me I shouldn't point a loaded gun in my face? Fu**in' assholes!\"

consumersit - NSFW?....
Ben, you have to ask yourself - does the uncensored picture add anything of value to the article?
@segfault: \"Besides, censorship is evil. \"
But they have no problem censoring/disemvoweling comments that they don't like...
@SabreDC: Wrong. Not \"comments that they don't like,\" more like comments that violate the clearly stated guidelines of the comments code. Don't agree with the code? start your own site.

Ah, but isn't the entire raison d'etre of this site to raise awareness of things that companies (e.g. Consumerist) do that are not in the best interest of the consumers (e.g. commenters)?
I believe the correct response would be to advise a boycott.
@SabreDC: No, the only comments I've seen disemvoweled are the ones that are so bad they not only add nothing, but actually take away from the conversation. And anyway, it's gone.

Bad on you, consumerist. The censored picture was fine. And I'm not easily offended. But this site shouldn't have highly NSFW pictures.

@SabreDC: So, they aren't allowed to surf the web on their breaks? My last employer was fine with me using the internet during legit downtime, but not so much fine with surfing porn, even on breaktime.
@Raekwon: \"both will get me in trouble at work which is where I commonly read your site\"
What other things should major website owners do to comply with the acceptable use policy at your job?
Out of the choices \"censor the internet to appeal to your standards\" and \"working instead of surfing\", one is both simpler and makes more sense.
@Raekwon: if we're taking votes, i vote a bigger version of the original be placed up on the site. like this one [s5.tinypic.com]
Tacky of The Consumerist to show the NSFW edition on this page.
Very tacky. There are way too many people who read this page, including children and teens, to assume NSFW photographs are appropriate for easy viewing.
@Corporate-Shill: Well, we know at least 50% of those children and teens have seen a penis. Unless they are blind, then they have at least felt one. The rest have seen a vagina and breast, unless they are blind, then they have felt them as well. So who are we protecting?
@Corporate-Shill: Right enough for most other countries. I find it odd that some people get so uptight about people's anatomy...

I'm not going to comment on the picture, but I will comment on the article title. Perhaps the \"Buckets of Cum\" could have been replaced with \"Porn/Adult DVD\" or something along those lines? I only say this because the titles of the articles are huge and easy to read from afar and that definitely got my coworker's attention when he walked by. I'm lucky, I work in construction in the field with a bunch of guys so this kind of thing doesn't bother them. However, I can see how this would bother other people.
![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-277638-100x100.png\")
@hexychick: I would have used the title: '\"New\" Best Buy DVD Player Comes With Free, Spermatozoa Documentary DVD'
Gratuitous dong alert! No need for this pic, really. A clickable link to the flickr page would have been enough if anyone *really* wanted to look at it.
NOW THIS IS COMEDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-84084-100x100.png\")
Um, so, NSFW warning or not, the phrase \"buckets of cum\" didn't raise a red flag?
I'm not a prude, but i think the censored image was enough to convey the message, and a link, with a warning, to the NSFW picture offsite would have been sufficient. A pornographic picture on Consumerist can only do harm to its reputation. Many if us follow this website at work, and I am really hard pressed to find a good reason why somebody though it would be a good idea to place that picture on the post.
Censorship is when the government institutes penalties for publishing certain words or images. When a company chooses for itself what is or is not worth printing, that's just judgment.
This won't stop Consumerist from being my favorite site, I'm not on a holy rampage, I just agree with those who could have done without that picture. A link to the flickr posting would have been fine.
Over the last few years, sites have required people to sign up and state that they are over age 13 because the site may have adult images or themes. Since Consumerist doesn't require viewers to sign up (nor require them to claim they are over 13), I would presume that Consumerist is violating whatever law started requiring sites to do that. I think it's easy to believe \"we're all adults here\", but considering that this site probably has attracted a lot of viewers of all ages, it would probably be very easy to demonstrate that you're doing nothing to prevent children from viewing adult images on your site. Yes, they could probably find this picture on flickr themselves, but at least Consumerist wouldn't be held liable. For your own protection, you may want to rethink posting the uncensored picture.

An unoffended reader

Paging Helen Lovejoy...Helen Lovejoy to The Consumerist please.
Is this a \"Golden Ticket\" promotion? Does he now get to visit a porn set?
This is my photo and my husband and I really did find this DVD in our player.
We bought it at the Best Buy next to Valley Fair Mall in Santa Clara/San Jose.
If anyone returned a DVD player there with Buckets of Cum in it, contact us and we'll give you your DVD back!!
Yes, it was pretty funny! At first my husband was thinking, \"Sweet!!! Score...\" when we opened it up. We got a good laugh, but then I started thinking, \"Wait a second, we bought it as a regular item, not open boxed. Why is there a DVD in there then?\"
We were going to complain, I called Best Buy that night, but they were closed, so I was going to call or complain later. Never really got around to it and my husband was happy we got free porn out of it.
Too bad most of it was cheesy porn. It was a great laugh though. =)
Thanks for the post. =) Love the site by the way.
Never got around to complaining to BB?
Then why complain here?
Oh, BTW, I would have thrown the DVD player through a farking window in a fit of anger, but that is just me.
The anger is not at the porn, rather the fact that BB screwed me over and sold a used unit as a new unit.
![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-142901-100x100.png\")
@Lisaya Mani: You are cool for not having a conniption because OMG think of the children porn was included with your DVD player. Kodos to you.
Uhm, your NSFW picture appears in the RSS feed, which meant it was happily sucked into my mailbox. Fortunately not an issue where I work, but you should probably think these things through more carefully.
I have to wonder when BB started doing this. I was an employee there about ten years ago, and the policy at that point was that any item returned but working and sellable would be re-sealed and placed back on the shelves at a discount as \"open box\" the next day. Of course, we had to thoroughly test items before they could be declared fit for open-boxing. With a DVD player, I'd expect that testing would require opening the disc tray at some point.
Closest thing to this I ever experience while employed there was discovering a videotape of \"Cum Sluts vol. 9: The Face F*ckers\" in a VCR that had been brought in for cleaning. The tape belonged to the couple that brought the VCR in. We presumed that someone was going to get in trouble when we tactfully returned the tape to them wrapped in paper. We were wrong. They removed the paper, both blushed, exchanged a knowing look, and thanked us.

I think I just got flashed by The Consumerist. Ew.
You'd think that Best Buy would crackdown on their employees selling used items as new after that guy got them to write an apology for selling a used broken camera as new.
Well, at least they're now tossing in free porn.
i remember when Lisaya posted this in a previous article about BB.
and for everyone who is uptight about being at work and having just looked at a big floppy wang, or the BUCKETS OF CUM!!!! title.
Mabye you should get back to work and stop surfing the internet while your working. you want to whistle blow a website. i say we whistle blow you and get your isp/companys account info and tell your boss you need more work.

Sadly for me, best buy pulled this same \"sell a used product as new\" bullshit with me, when I was purchasing a 3000 dollar television, but instead of a free porno I got some sort of unremovable solvent all over the screen of my \"new\" hdtv. It took me two weeks of fierce bitching to get a replacement.

Wow... timely. The Flickr image was uploaded \"17 months ago\".
\"If you are a pervert, the uncensored extremely NSFW version is inside.\"
Why exactly is looking at pornography perverted? Sure, there are times and places that it is appropriate/inappropriate, but are you insinuating that only perverts look at porn?

You guys have really uptight work environments. No one is constantly looking over my shoulder and I work in an open office style place.
But I agree that neither of those pics is very safe for work if your workplace is the 3rd reich and was extremely surprised to see the second picture pop up like that. Probably needs to be taken down since to get to comments you have to scroll past it.

I would have been upset if it had come with Buckets O' Come 2, a horrible sequel.
now that buckets o' cum is on the head bar ticker maybe people will get back to work instead of surfing the web
Wow.. people these days. I can just see the high school kids working at Best Buy, on their break just getting out a DVD player and watch porn on it because it's the cool thing to do these days at work.
Same thing happened to me when I bought a DVD at a thrift store. From looking at the Disc I learned 2 things. 1. What a Bukaki was 2. No matter how much you wash, it will never go away
Everyone shouldn't be suprised. I mean it happens at every store. I mean if someone returns an item saying that they didn't want it, and the item doesn't look like it has been opened, very few employees are going to check it out. Let's not act like this only happens at one store.

Dear Lord...haven't seen this much squealing since the Twilight premier.
It's a cock, people. Deal with it. If you didn't want your tender sensibilities to be offended, then don't click through on an article with PORN and BUCKETS O' CUM in the title.
Suck it up and be responsible for your own actions. If you're going to come to a site that has content for adults, then act like a freakin adult.
Well I hope the DVD player was cheap. if so then he got more than he bargained for. A free DVD with purchase. And about 95% better than any other free dvd promo! And to all you haters out there. boobs, cum, vagina, everything else is part of the human body. It's not something bad. Grow up. And if you don't want your kid to look at it, then you might think about actually being a parent and supervising there time online. yeah, it's called REALITY. Welcome to the real world. And furthermore, if your offended, then DON'T look at it!
WAAAAA Put NSFW on the picture..CMON people, how bout actually WORKING while at your job...mfing losers.
this is very funny. Maybe the author misses the promotion that says, \"if you buy it, you will cum..hmm.. come\" hahaha....
The player's previous users definitely have a problem with their eject-ulation.
I would hate to expose anyone to the knowledge that there are women with large black bars over their swimsuit areas. If it offends your sensibilities, you might want to avoid clicking on anything with the word \"CUM\" in the title or just to be safe you can avoid the word \"BUCKET\" too.
@jamar0303 you're right, haha, I should have paid more attention
Phew. Just another reminder to the public: DON'T BUY ANY EQUIPMENT OF VALUE AT BEST BUY!
Instead get a better deal -- and a new, factory-sealed product -- at any of the reputable establishments mentioned time and again on this blog.
These include amazon, J&R, B&H, and newegg.

Are there actual buckets in this film? Are they standard-sized buckets? If so, it must take a lot of men to fill them.
One bucket alone would take a lot of work, but the title clearly indicates there are more than one.
If the title and pic were not in the article, this would be a series of comments asking what the movie was. Good to nix that discussion up front by putting it all out there, I suppose. And frankly, \"adult porn DVD\" doesn't zazz me the same way Buckets of Cum does.
That's what we call a \"hook\" in the news biz, Parker. Now go get me pictures of Spiderman!
Best Buy and Futureshop have two eventual paths for returned items, if it is not apparently used and the box is pristine, then it is marked as Factory Fresh and sold as brand new, if it is noticeably used in any way, then it is noted down as \"Open Box\", Open Box items are avoided as much as possible because they lose a great deal of money on them if it doesnt sell immediately.
Uh, hey, you clicked to get here. Didn't the article title give you a hint?
It's amazing that people will ask for something, get it, then complain that it's what they asked for. I see the profit-potential, though -- just ask for Hot Coffee (as long as you're not in a GameStop)
I find it funny how the uncensored photo was uploaded to flickr 17 months ago... really consumerist... is this really news??? I think it should have been reported by the consumerist just how old the article is.
Free porn and people are complaining?
Working at a Best Buy myself I cannot tell you how often people will repack stuff in an attempt to make it look new so as not to have to deal with being asked questions when returning it.
What people don't realize is that, except for the bigger ticket items in the store, you can return stuff opened or unopened and still get your same amount of money back. DVD players don't have a restocking fee, but apparently maybe someone thought they did?
I'm sure that whoever returned this did not realize it had been opened and the first purchaser is more to blame...not Best Buy.
They obviously didn't check the player's functionality after some fool returned it. If the box had been missing the remote, they wouldn't have accepted your story.
