ENGLAND — Perhaps it would have been a more welcome find had Kenneth Stewart been a horny 25-year-old shopping on his own, instead of a 60-year-old grandfather shopping with his two elementary school aged grandsons for a gift. As it was, when he discovered the pre-installed porn on one of the laptops he was considering for his six and eight-year-old charges, he was less than enthused.The machine was on display at Sainsbury’s and, according to a superstore supervisor, was probably loaded with the porn remotely from some joker’s Bluetooth wireless connection.

The Sun reports that apologies have been tendered to the understandably surprised guardian and the shop is said to have boosted its security, which now includes placing the display systems where it’s more difficult to tamper with them.

Stewart thinks the culprits were teens looking to shock more respectable folk and that they lingered in the store, perhaps to see if their antics had caught anyone’s attention.

“It’s just not on that children of that age should be exposed to those images and I was very disappointed with the way the matter was dealt with,” the disgruntled Stewart informed the press. “I reported the incident to a member of the staff but they did not try to catch the teenagers even though they stayed in the store for at least another 20 minutes.”

A representative for Sainsbury’s disagrees that response was not in proportion to the crime, observing that “Following this incident, we have moved the laptops so that they can be better monitored by our security team.”

Nonetheless, Stewart is not appeased, insisting that the lack of punitive follow-through “sends a signal that people can do what they want. If I was to s how the kids pornography, I would be locked up as a pedophile!”

While that may or may not be so, the Sainsbury’s representatives promised that “We have also asked out colleagues at the store to be extra vigilant in an effort to prevent this happening again.”
