Urban legend or a real problem?

I've heard stories about perverts replacing kid's videos with porn, but I don't know if it's ever really happened. Google has no records.

Apparently Fisher-Price is concerned enough about it to place a safety seal sticker. This video was buried in about 5 layers of packaging. It was a throw-in with a toy, in a sealed box, the video itself was shrink-wrapped, and in it's own box. It took me scissors, a knife, and getting through a dozen twist-ties to get to it.

This is the parenting equivalent of TSA confiscating key-chain nail files at the airport. The likelihood of some old lady taking over the plane with a crochet hook it zero, but the people in charge need to look busy, like they are doing something about keeping us safe from terrorists*. I think there are people who feel safer on planes if they get hassled at the airport, "well... they seem very through, they made me take off my shoes".

I guess I can rest assured that Fisher-Price is looking out for the welfare of my child. "Wow... They really are concerned for my baby". Either that, or it's CYA.

*I actually do believe that the government is doing a good job of keeping us safe, but it's not from increased airport screenings.
