A whole lot of porn found in boy’s PSP player
A Florida boy received an eyeful of porn when he turned on a PSP player his mom says she picked up at a Wal-Mart near Bradenton, Fla.
The boy’s mother told Fox 13- WTVT that the Play Station Portable she bought her son for a late Christmas gift contained hundreds of pornographic images.
The 6-year-old saw a woman in her birthday suit when he turned the gaming system on for the first time Saturday, April 11, the station reported.
Fearing he’d be grounded, he ran to his mother in tears.
The mother said the game’s memory card contained hundreds of pornographic images.
A Wal-Mart representative told the station they are looking into the matter.

TweetIs Facebook a brain drain?
Everyone knows Facebook can be a time sucker, but maybe it is sucking on brain cells as well.
A recent Ohio State University study has found a link between Facebook use and lower graders in college.
College students with Facebook accounts have lower grade point averages than students who have not signed up for the social networking site, according to the pilot study.
Facebook users had GPAs between 3.0 and 3.5. Non-users had GPAs between 3.5 and 4.0, the study reported.
About 220 Ohio State students took part in the study. More than half of the participants had Facebook accounts.
The study will be presented Thursday, April 16, at the annual meeting of the American Education Research Association in San Diego.
“We can’t say that use of Facebook leads to lower grades and less studying - but we did find a relationship there,” said Aryn Karpinski, co-author of the study.
The fact that Facebook user spent less time studying should come to no surprise.
Who has time to study when there is Mafia War to play and photos to tag?
