Ida Riedel Palmer, 23, was left disappointed when what was advertised as a free "body jam" dance CD with her breakfast cereal directed her to a hardcore porn website.

The young woman from Umeå in northern Sweden bought the packet of Nestlé Fitness cereal at the weekend and was left shaken by the nature of the porn to which she was exposed.
"It was not soft porn. It was definitely what I would categorize as unpleasant porn - not that I know much about it," she explained.
Palmer tested the offending CD in two more computers to make sure that the problem was not in anyway connected to her computer and the same thing occurred.
However the CD did contain the material that was advertised; it just came with an introduction that the unsuspecting Ida Riedel Palmer had not anticipated.
"When I put the CD in again the dance training came up. Without the porn."
"But as the problem was clearly not with my computer, it was with the CD, I felt that Nestlé should be informed and I called them."
Nestlé have been in touch and have assured her that they will get to the bottom of the mystery of how Palmer's corn flakes became porn flakes.
Ida Riedel Palmer told The Local that despite her experience she is willing to give the brand another chance.
"No I haven't changed cereal. But I have bought another packet," she said.

"It was not soft porn. It was definitely what I would categorize as unpleasant porn - not that I know much about it,"
So she spent long enough browsing the site content to find that out? :)
I am glad that it was her that found the disc and NOT her kids!
If this was reported correctly, it has the potential to be a serious problem!
I must say though that having your morning "porn flakes" sounds really cool ;-)
Porn flakes the breakfast of champions!
Love Ms. Palmer's categorisation of the porn as "unpleasant porn". Would be interesting to see what Ms. Palmer classifies as "pleasant porn"?
PS - love the article headline!
Now when speaking about an illegal industry that is generally regarded with distaste (weapons, drugs, prostitution, etc.) and someone says "It makes $XXX per year," that is an entirely different statement. It implies that the profit made from the illegal industry is a travesty and should be stopped.
Yes, the U.S. is a very money-centric nation and we discuss it quite regularly. We don't always realize that it's a subject bordering on taboo in other countries and that they may not pick up on particular nuances when we discuss things from a financial point of view.
It is good that it wasn't kids who found it, I wonder how many others were distributed with that CD? I foresee a rise in Nestle sales....
Yes I guess if that is how your children are raised, then perhaps you are right, it could be damaging since you are not in their lives to guide them.
To what good would be exposing children to something they don't care or need to know about at such an early age. You might as well make them watch shows with animals and people killing animals. These type of things could very well frighten small children and make them very fearful of the world around them at an unnecessary early age. You need to re-think your position aairon.
