A customer bought a refurbished MacBook from Apple’s London store and discovered a surprising bonus when he first booted it up: the desktop was covered with porn files.

Did someone forget to reformat the hard drive? Or is it the promotional campaign to end all promotional campaigns?

You just knew that the geeky guy in the Mac commercials wasn’t just using it to download music to his iPod! Are his hands always in view?

A commenter at consumerist.com has a likely scenario:

WIFE_OF_CUSTOMER: Hi honey, I’m home!

CUSTOMER: Oh, I, uh, Hi, honey — I didn’t expect you to get back so soon!

WIFE_OF_CUSTOMER: Is that the new laptop for Susie?

CUSTOMER: Um, er, yeah… I just pulled it out of the box JUST NOW… and … OMG! There’s PORN on this computer! HOW DID THAT GET THERE?

WIFE_OF_CUSTOMER: Honey, did you just download that yourself, and are just trying to cover up for your evil ways?

CUSTOMER: Oh, NO, honey, I can’t believe you would think such a thing — I, um, er, just FOUND it there when I turned it on… this is just an awful thing to find; I’m going to call that store up and give them a piece of my mind!

WIFE_OF_CUSTOMER: Are you lying your arse off so that I won’t divorce you for looking at porn on the internet? Because if I find out…

CUSTOMER: Oh, PLEASE, honey, I would never look at porn! Porn is evil! I’m a god-fearing, happily married man! I swear I’ve never looked at naughty pictures and I never will! In fact, I feel like burning my eyes out this very moment because of what I’ve just seen on this laptop!

WIFE_OF_CUSTOMER: Well, so long as you’re telling the truth, I guess I believe you. Let’s go to the authorities in the morning TOGETHER, and they’ll tell us what we can do about this situation.

CUSTOMER: Great idea, honey, I absolutely agree!
