Didnt the girl from HSM pose for dirty pictures. And isnt that movie just one
big sex tease??? I saw sex drive and the opening scene is a wet dream, lol.
The parents should have known by the kinds of previews that were airing that
they were not about to see a kid movie. I can't wait to have kids just so
I can offer some balance to this "wimpy" world that is being created.
Big deal, wrong movie aired, get your free tickets and popcorn and wait 5
minutes before the real movie plays. Your kid will prob forget anything ever
happened. Something like this happened once to me when i was around 7 and we
sat there for 10 mins before they changed the film...you know what was wrongly
aired? couldn't tell you because it didnt matter. it only matters to idiot
parents.

wow, had this happened anywhere in the world, other than the USA, we
wouldn't have seen this article or comments. Some Americans are such
terrible prudes about nakedness.
(and yes, I'm a mother of 3 and definitely a protective parent. Don't let my kids watch films with excessive violence in it, of course I wouldn't want them to actually watch porn either, but come on! a bit of moving under covers and a naked male backside, I really don't see what harm there is in that).

Don't previews match the movie to come? That would mean the previews
wouldn't be family friendly either. Besides, I'm wondering why it
took a few minutes for parents to realize this wasn't the disney flick.
I'd be ticked, too, if my kids were exposed, but I think I would have
realized what was going on before too much damage had been done.

Parents shouldn't have taken their kids to that fake teenager farce of a
movie.
These comments are interesting | 6:30 a.m. Oct. 29, 2008
Since I live in a different state, and don't have children, I have no stake
in this at at all. I like to read web comments to see social trends, and this
has been interesting.
What I see is that (while I'm certain that it was accidental) when the cinema broke the law by showing an R-rated film to preadolescent children without the prior permission of the parents, and broke the implicit contract with the parents since they didn't show the G-rated film that had been paid for, many of the comment posters are blaming the PARENTS.
Why is this?

What, the human body?! Oh no! How frightening.
It's pretty sad... | 6:35 a.m. Oct. 29, 2008
In some ways doesn't seem like a big deal, but look at it from the
perspective of a parent that took their young daughter to see a family-oriented
movie and got something else. As parents, it is our responsibility to teach
these things to our kids, but not in a movie theater. But, as always, moral
issues get blown out of proportion by the media because of our society's
warped extreme left views. The only thing I really have to say about the
situation is that I hope that the employees of the movie theater correct their
mistake to prevent future happenings of this sort...Also for the parents of the
children who had to see this stuff, that they can reinforce positive behavior
and not dwell on the negative experience.
Justy | 6:36 a.m. Oct. 29, 2008
You people bashing the parents are a bunch of freakin' morons. You do know
that. This isn't some group of people protesting outside a theater of
something. These are people who were minding their own business and had their
afternoon ruined. These parents have every right to determine what their
children should. They have every right to be upset. I bet that some of you
people are the same people who bash parents for not having parenting skill. GROW
UP!!
wow | 6:36 a.m. Oct. 29, 2008
It is interesting to note that alot of the blame is put on the parents. Think
about what you are saying...the kids go in and sit down before the movie starts
and mom/dad get up to go buy the popcorn, sodas, and whatever else. Now the
movie starts and the kids are sitting there getting their eyes full of this
garbage!!!! What about the kids that are there with just friends to watch it
with no parents present.
I would be extremely upset by this if my 5 or 8 yo saw this, but the theater did try to right the wrong and has put new policies in place to keep this from happening again.
Parents should be responsible for their kids but if you pay for something and do not get what you paid for, there is a problem.
And for the porn lovers, what if they accidently switched your "Sex Drive" movie for HSM3?????

Utah_is_a_weird_place | 6:37 a.m. Oct. 29, 2008
You folks from Utah are very strange. Right now, we have children dying of
starvation, freezing to death in the street, being sold as sex slaves to fat
men, and being beaten to death by their parents. If you can read that sentence
and still, with a straight face, tell yourself that this is such a devastating
event that it warrants more than just a frank talk with your child about right
and wrong - you need help. A great deal of help.
Yeah, what happened was wrong. The theater made a mistake. They took responsibility for it. But some of the damage control is up to you - that's part of what you signed up for when next to "position desired", you wrote 'parent'. They don't have mind erasing machines at the movies. (This is the part where you come in)
Be good parents. talk to your kids openly and honestly about what happened...and move on. Calling a lawyer and (this is a BIG maybe) winning some money in a lawsuit will not save/protect/purify your children. Being a good parent will.

Derek | 6:39 a.m. Oct. 29, 2008
This sounds like an honest mistake which resulted from the theater trying to
accommodate patrons. I find it highly unlikely this event will result in
irreversible psychological trauma. Use it as opportunity to talk with your
children and provide some much needed education.

Re: You're not a mother...
I am a mother who has seen the devastation that meth and heroine can do to people and to families. Seeing 10 mins of "Sex Drive" is nothing compared to accidentally sticking a kid with heroine or handing him meth and a lighter.
Pornography isn't a substance and it isn't the most addictive thing we've got. What about Sugar? Wait never mind, a little Ritalin counteracts that one in children. Too bad we can�t give a pill to counteract parental ignorance.
Get off your righteous high horse... it must be nice to be so perfect and so utterly ignorant all at the same time.

Re: You're not a mother. Correct. I am not a mother. I am a father.
Nudity is NOT explicit. You do not understand the meaning of that word
apparently. You are demonising nudity in the minds of your kids by treating it
like something heinous. Have your kids seen you/each other/friends naked? That
won't have scarred them. Your over-protective attitude will.
Moving on to the most ridiculous comment you made: Pornography is NOT, in any way, shape or form, in the same league as addictive substances. Nicotine and alcohol stats will disagree with you, to name but a few. If you believe that exposing a child to a few minutes of nudity (which is not pornography) is equal to putting a child in a drug-filled environment for a whole day then I would argue that you have some serious mental scarring yourself and should attend counselling before you pass on your damaging opinions to your kids. The human body is a natural thing and should be celebrated, not demonised. Would you take your kids to see the Venus de Milo? She's nude and regarded as a timeless masterpiece and there is no sexual context.

As a member of the LDS faith, a BYU student, and semi-frequent moviegoer,
It's a shame to see members of the faith so incapable of recognizing a
mistake and moving on. You are whinning. The reason people outside Utah have
such a dislike for Utahns and the LDS faith is because of uptight and
self-righteous people like you. If you don't want to see the movie,
don't go see it. If you accidently see a part of it, get out and move on.
Don't drag the reputation of Church members lower because you can't
live in the real world. It's embarrassing. And this talk of a lawsuit - so
unfortunate that so many people are so weak as to even think that would be a
good option. Weak, sheltered people.

Glad to see the Brain Police out in full force here.
Your kids are exposed to worse things in the 30 minutes before school starts every day than was seen in the first few minutes of this movie.
When did we all become so easily offended ?
I'm not sure, but we better get those bonfires stoked up just in case it happens again. . .

No one important | 6:54 a.m. Oct. 29, 2008
Research has shown a direct link between dysfunctional sexual activity and early
exposure to nudity, sexual activity and the general free and open attitude
toward sex in today's society. The parents in that theater have a right to
be offended at what their kids were exposed to, also they have a right to be
angry. We should not belittle them for being upset. At the same time, the
damage would be very limited as long as the parents turn this even into a
teaching moment about what is and is not appropriate. Exposing nudity to
children is NOT appropriate.
And, about the lawsuit comments...for what? It was a mistake...teach your children well and laugh about it in a few years.

When I was about 10 years old my parents dropped me off at our small town
theater to see a movie but the schedule had changed because the ownership of the
theater had changed. Instead of watching some Disney movie I got to watch a soft
core biker sex flick. I enjoyed it.

I like how nudity = smut for you folks complaining. No wonder kids become
sex-crazed teenagers because they've never been taught by their parents how
to properly deal with the inevitable exposure they will get to nudity in
everyday life.
The theater made a mistake. Get over it.

Something similar happened to us once. We went to see a Disney movie with out
2, 4 and 6 year old. The trailers were a little "off" for a Disney
movie, and I remember thinking that it didn't feel right and was going to
complain after the movie. When the movie was started it was Stigmata which
opened with a very violent scene. We got out as quick as we could, and were
given free tickets. I was upset and felt it was traumatizing to little kids.
THere is no excuse to say that kids see this in mags and tv anyway. Many
parents protect their kids from this. My then 4 and 6 year old still remember
the incident almost 10 years later. Theaters should be held accountable. The
corner store selling smut would be.

"It's actually illegal to show sexually explicit material to children,
which is why the whole rating system started in the first place. Depending on
the nature of the material (I haven't seen the movie) the theater could
have opened itself up to criminal prosecution."
Don't be dense. Kids can get in to see R-rated movies, so long as they are accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.
"...it can even lead to future addictions and fetishes."
What's wrong with a fetish? Lots of normal, healthy people have them.
"I've had to learn about these studies repeatedly over the course of my college education"
Oh, a college student! You must be very wise.
"Strange how pornography is more addictive than any substance in existence."
That's even funnier than the article. Does that mean people have withdrawal symptoms when coming down off porn? Seriously, that's the dumbest thing I've seen all week, and I've watched two Sarah Palin speeches!
And as for the people who suggested boycotting smut, please do. Start with theaters and move down to retailers like Target who sell the DVDs. That way, I should be able to avoid having contact with people like you.

It is regrettable that it happened, but it was a MISTAKE. Get over it. If you
find out that the theater manager intentionally shown the film knowing what it
contained, then you have a right to make a big deal of it. Since they corrected
the mistake when they were made aware of it, then cut them some slack. Put
yourself in this position... if you made that mistake how would you feel, and
would you want others to react. Find the problem, fix the problem.
Be a parent and explain to the kids that it was a mistake. If the parents don't make a big deal of it neither will the kids. Then again this is the lawsuit happy generation. The courts don't have enough guts to say that things have gotten out of hand and that frivalous suits should penalize the lawyer as well as the people filing it.

Steve | 7:51 a.m. Oct. 29, 2008
Any parent in that theater that could not figure out the movie they were about
to see was not HSM3 by looking at the previews being shown is to blame. I work
projection, and if prints get moved or are sharing theatres, this can happen.
I've known people to start by mistake an R-rated film instead of a kids
movie, but the parents were smart enough to figure it out during the FIRST
preview. The parents in the case are a bunch of moron/idiots. The projectionist
made a mistake and those of you calling for a lawsuit are fools and should be
ashamed of yourselves. I guess you have never made a mistake in your life.
GeorgeM | 7:52 a.m. Oct. 29, 2008
The theater I go to has a manager or assistant manager watch all new movies a
few days before it opens, after the theater is closed, to be sure there's
nothing wrong with the film, right reels etc.
Might have been a prank to get the election off the front page.

FOR SHAME! If you were a good parent, you would sit down and talk with your
kids about what you just saw, rather than making a fuss over it. No one did
that on purpose to upset you, just get over it and have some family time with
your kids. I'm sure they forgot all about it anyway when HSM 3 came on,
unless you dragged them out first.

sex-up and dumb down our children! I just can't stand for this!

hyenes to the kill.... The mistake was aviodable but with the refund AND free
poopcorn AND change of procedure you should feel that they have everything in
their power to not allow this mistake to happen again... just recently i took my
younger sister one of the worst movies in have ever seen(HSM3) and what people
said about the trailers was completely true compltely different from even just
some random pg-13 garbage my friends took me too last week besides the fact do
parents now not know what the disney symbol is here? i feel that if the parents
feel so offended live in a cave... i hear some of the nastiest thing in my life
just on my way to school, how will explain that if they can not handle a glimpse
of nudity? Oh and by the way i would be thankful they gave you free movie
tickets once i went to harry potter and had to wtc the hole movie upside down
and got nothuin back

I was there; I took my 8 year old daughter to see High school Musical 3. I would
love to answer a few questions that everyone seems to have.
The trailers did seem to be not of the same content that a Disney movie would have, but the seemed to have children actors in them and I assumed that they were trying to hit a high school aged audience which all of these films seemed to hit. No once did it say that the previews were R or anything. So the preview began me to wonder but never having heard of such an accident I did not necessarily run out of the theaters at that time.
Then the showed started with no credits and it appeared to me that it was another preview and if it was not it started with a high school student IM a girl that he was a football player. Then it went wrong and at that point I took my 8 year old out of the movie. It portrayed this high school student having a girl perform sex acts on him then turned to masturbation and then the title started and the credits thereafter.

Cornhusker Father | 8:05 a.m. Oct. 29, 2008
There is no excuse for exposing a minor to "R-rated" movie material,
whether that material be nudity, profanity, or gore and violence. This theatre
is legally liable for this unfortunate incident; all it takes is for one parent
to contact the local District Attorney, as well as a local, private attorney to
get the ball rolling. Based on my very limited knowledge of how our legal
system works (although this varies based on jurisdiction), the patrons of this
theatre who were exposed to the R-rated movie could possibly have criminal
(because of minors being exposed to R-rated material without the parents'
consent), as well as a civil case (basically for the same reason as the criminal
case, but in this case involving potential psychological damage to the minors
involved, with a possible outcome being a settlement of some sort).
I don't condone abusing the courts with frivolous lawsuits, but if this had happened to me, I would absolutely pursue legal channels, if anything, to make sure laws haven't been violated; that's what our court system is here for...to protect us fromt he negligence and potentially intentional harm by others. Good day all----it's about time we stop accepting things like this.

I was absolutely upset with management not necessarily that my daughter saw
nudity because I agree with most of you it is everywhere and I can not stop her
from seeing it so any situation with nudity could be a valid teaching point
about it. But this is just not nudity it is sex acts my daughter had a handful
of questions for me like, what are they doing? what is going on? why is he
making those sounds? And she even read the title of the movie and then asked me
what is Sex?

Now I expected to answer all of the questions with my daughter some day but not
that night not a night I expected my daughter to enjoy one of her most
anticipated movie High School Musical 3. Even after the movie was over she asked
the questions again, so you know this made an impression on her and she probably
thought about throughout the entire movie. I am very disappointed in The
district and there should be some laws preventing this mistake, they should be
fined something and have to pay more than popcorn. How is it that a company can
show out rite porn to children and not be fined anything?

I used to be a projectionist. Sometimes two movies share a theater, and if
you're not careful, you can get mixed up. One time I was running late and I
showed a bunch of kids waiting for "Over the Hedge" the first few
minutes of a teen horror movie. Whoops. The kids were cool, and so were the
moms. How come I didn't get in the paper?
Dr. Botkin | 8:11 a.m. Oct. 29, 2008

They should take this to the American Center for Law and Justice and sue. This
was a deliberate attempt to indoctrinate folks who don't want to see trash
and filth. This is why I never go to the movies anymore.
If someone showed a racist film or a film against Islam everyone would be up in arms. But they show indecent trash instead. It is time to stand up and be counted. Sue them and make an example to them.

Not seeing the film, I am just going by the story and assuming that it is
accurate.
I guess my grasp of language is not too great because the story said that "nudity was shown". Well I guess to some the nude body is obscene and it is Utah.
Yes it sounds like a mistake which could have been avoided but perhaps some parents should reconsider their parenting skill also. Perhaps the mere sight of God's greatest creation, without man's puritan coverings, should not condemn one to a life of lust and debauchery. Perhaps if our children would be taught the naked truth about humans and our God given sexuality, there would not be such demand for smut.
There certainly is a large difference between porn and nudity, just as there is between good judgment and over reaction. I would suggest that all involved step back and eith take a deep breath or cold shower.

I find it disturbing that so many think nothing of exposing young children to
sexual situations. Where would they draw the line? Nowhere, they seek
boundless societies where anything goes. They sure encourage the public display
of sexual acts and content without limits. Perhaps they also "see nothing
wrong" with having sex with children?

"These poor children. This is the worst thing that could have possibly
happened to them."
Jeez, I'm glad that if these kids had ran out of the theatre and got hit by a bus it really wouldn't have been all THAT bad. The worst would have already been over!

People make mistakes - and it happens to us all. Mistake made, acknowledged by
the staff - issued apologies and free stuff? What's next? Sue 'em, I
suppose.
Give 'em a break...
Give 'em a break...

With the way the media is now we really don't have the choice anymore of if
we want to see explicit material or not. Flipping through channels, magazine
racks, and countless other venues on the internet will push the limits of what
we are comfortable viewing or having or children exposed to. Rather our thinking
needs to be changed to how we will respond to it. If you are deeply offended by
the material you need to only hold tight to your beliefs and "touch not the
unclean thing".
