An MP3 player bought from a Wal-Mart store in Tennessee has shocked a 10-year-old girl, who saw pornographic videos and heard songs about using drugs from the device when she played it. The girl's father, Daryl Hill, who bought three of the players as Christmas presents for his children, has complained with the store in Sparta.

When any one of those groups thinks that their turf has been encroached on, it causes problems.
