Woops!

I have a lot of trouble believing this wasn't somebody's idea of a practical joke.
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- Copies of a movie aimed at a Mormon audience have been pulled from store shelves after a recording mix-up left buyers watching "Adored: Diary of a Porn Star" instead of the squeaky clean "Sons of Provo."

Two Utah families caught the problem after purchasing DVDs at Deseret Book stores, which are owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Fortunately, the movie the customers unintentionally bought wasn't rated. Mormons consider it a sin to watch movies with an "R" rating, so it would have been the equivalent of spiking food with pork and selling it under a kosher label to observant Jews. Still, it's not far off, and it's a slimy thing to do to trick somebody into something they believe is sinful. Real funny, folks!
