Hitting a record number of porn sites

There are a lot of people who are attracted to porn, and use whatever opportunity they have available to browse for porn. There are a lot of offices that do not actually prohibit porn, and there are others who prohibit browsing for porn, but do not either have filters in place or do not effectively monitor people's net usage to check for porn browsing. However, even a place that hardly check for porn will take action if they find an employee logging almost a million hits for porn:


A Japanese civil servant was demoted for logging more than 780,000 hits on pornographic Web sites on his office computer over nine months, an official said Friday. The man, a Kinokawa city government employee in western Japan, visited porn sites from June 2007 to February 2008, city official Tomiko Waki said. City officials said the number of hits discovered on his computer's internal log was so high in part because one click on certain types of pornographic sites registers multiple hits.
The man's supervisors discovered his extensive porn site visits after his computer became infected with a virus, prompting officials to examine his Web browser's history. Along with the demotion, he received a 20,000 yen ($190) monthly pay cut, Waki said.


This officer was lucky to have been left off with a demotion, given that in many countries and in most corporations, he would have been fired. The interesting part is that either it was not being checked whether his normal work was also happening, or maybe he could get by without doing work.
