SEC staffers watched porn as economy crashed - GoFuckYourself.com

from yahoo news
"Senior staffers at the Securities and Exchange Commission spent hours surfing pornographic websites on government-issued computers while they were being paid to police the financial system, an agency watchdog says."

Alrighty then, yet another article that somehow manages to lay the blame on porn, i mean the title is a hint

You can always count on porn to be the scape goat.

BIGTYMER · 04-22-2010, 07:36 PM

Always view your logs. I always see interesting things.

Caligari · 04-22-2010, 07:54 PM

Heh, there's no shortage of interesting news out there, especially more about the "evils" or implied evils of porn nowadays. With alot of these stories I sometimes get that paranoid feeling that they are gearing up for another Salem witch trial soon.

Were they watching stolen content on tube sites?

ProG · 04-22-2010, 11:11 PM

Also on CNN

Quote:

More than half of the workers made between $99,000 and $223,000. All the cases took place over the past five years.

I'll bet they were using cam sites.

I don't see it as porn being blamed for anything here.

http://www.cnn.com/2010/POLITICS/04/...orn/index.html

They could have been surfing political blogs or downloading LOL Catz images - point is, they weren't doing their jobs.

I mean, eight hours a day? Or 1800 visits in a two week period?? I *hope* they were customers (and if they were they were probably ripping off the site/s).

But the fact that it was porn makes the whole metaphor more gripping (pun intended) - instead of policing the financial sector, "SEC officials were preoccupied with other distractions."

The government was basically jerking off while Rome was burning...

:D

Are you under the mistaken impression that Republicans LIKE Bush II?
Republicans, in general, may dislike him more than Democrats do, because of
his wasteful spending. Though it'll be a decade or more before we know for
sure what the end result will be in the middle east, I think everyone agrees we
went in prematurely, without a clearly defined objective and end game. For that,
liberals and conservatives alike are unhappy with Bush. Conservatives have the
additional reason to dislike him because he spent like a drunken Ted Kennedy, and
we hate government wasting our hard earned money. We hate it when Bush does
it, and we hate it when the SEC does it.

PS - yes, I realize that "drunken Ted Kennedy" is redundant.
