SEC Pornography Problem: Employees Spent Hours Surfing Porn Sites - ABC News (http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/sec-pornography-employees-spent-hours-surfing-porn-sites/story?id=10452544)



The Securities and Exchange Commission is the sheriff of the financial industry, looking for crimes such as Bernard Madoff's Ponzi scheme, but a new government report obtained by ABC News has concluded that some senior employees spent hours on the agency's computers looking at sites such as naughty.com, skankwire and youporn as the financial crisis was unfolding.

Uh huh..... I'm sure those specific people are responsible for EVERYTHING that happened.

[Phlip]

Wow, I could have been a government official.
I was looking at porn some of the time while the economy was consuming itself... Granted, I was blocked from doing so during work hours, but I spent a bit of time with the pr0ns nonetheless.

Society could use more people like you. Willing to put in hours of work even after you leave the office.

skankwire


That's a new one.

[all show no go]

Just a juicy story to rile people up. Maybe they did get their jollies, but there's no way those few people can allow the whole economy turn into a trainwreck.

I'm pretty sure he means 'spankwire'.

I'm ashamed to know that...

even then, it's difficult to prove watching porn made them do their jobs any worse.
it's not like if they were on Zilvia things would have been any better.

It would seem you are right.

Nothing like some anime porn on the first page to skyrocket the site right into my bookmarks.

That's not just the SEC. I have seen the server log from a lot of government and private companies.

Personally I don't really care as long as you're meeting your job's appraisal plan. Sitting in an office for 8 hours straight is really boring if you can get all your work done in 2 hours.

Pretty much^... its a bore waiting for meetings in between too...

So....how does one go about joining the SEC?

Sounds like my kinda job. :naughty: :naughty: :naughty:
