A screening of the Super Mario Bros Movie in Northern Ireland, one that was held specifically for young children, is now the subject of a police investigation after an āindecent imageā was somehow shown during the middle of the film.
As the BBC report, the screening last weekāat the Waterside Theatre in Londonderryāwas āpart of a summer schemeā for primary school (Americans, think elementary school) kids. Those present said that, at a random point during the film, āan image of a partially undressed woman appeared on screen for several seconds before being removedā.
The theatre notified parents of the incident at the filmās conclusion, and local police have begun an investigation, telling the BBC āEnquiries remain ongoing and anyone with information that could help with this investigation is asked to contact police.ā
The theatre later issued a statement, which reads:
Waterside Theatre is aware of an unfortunate but serious incident happening today.
The welfare of our visitors is always our main concern and we will be working with the relevant authorities which means we cannot comment further at this time.
We offer our sincere apologies to all those affected.
