Porn: Nothing wrong with that!

By Zachary 'Buddha' Bernstein

Apparently bankers DO have all the fun.  There has been a bit of controversy brewing over a certain bank worker looking at porn at work.  While someone else was getting interviewed on TV RIGHT BEHIND HIM.

  

            The fact that someone is looking at porn at work does not bother me.  I suspect most people do.  If people could get away with it, we would all be looking at porn during class.  And the fact that he was caught doing it on TV – near the end, he actually seems to realize people CAN SEE HIS COMPUTER – does not bother me either.  It is a boring looking job, so obviously people are going to try and have some fun.  And it is a complicated-looking office, so he might not have been able to see the cameras set up and, you know, hear the guy speaking to apparently no one in particular.  Mistakes happen.

            Now, if you told me this particular investment bank got billions in bailout money and the guy caught surfing porn netted a $5 million bonus…then I would urge everyone to invest heavily in Pitchforks Inc.  Thankfully, it appears not to have happened that way.  And yet, one must wonder if that is how the financial collapse got started…

            “Wilkins, do you have that report on subprime mortgages I asked for?  If we don’t get people aware of the dangers, we could have a big crisis on our hands.”

            “Uhh…I’ve kind of got something bigger to deal with right now.”
