Japanese official demoted for 780,000 hits on porn sites
AP ^ | 05/02/2008

TOKYO (AP) — 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. The man's name was withheld.

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.

Despite his frequent porn viewing, none of his colleagues noticed his activities, which he apparently conducted throughout the workday.

"Each desk is set apart from each other," Waki said, adding that the man logged 170,000 hits on porn sites in July alone.

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.

TOKYO (AP) — 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.

And was replaced by an overachieving porn surfer who was actually able to top 1,000,000 hits.

Probably too busy looking at porn on their own computers.

Sounds to me like the whole office is dead weight. Fire all of them.

It’s not his fault!

Everytime he tried to close the offending window, a new one popped up with even more images.

For days he was desperately trying to stop these offending images from appearing on his screen.

He was at the mercy of the dastardly porn website programming!

I had an employee call me and said his PC was extremly slow. When I examined his computer I noticed his taskbar was absolutely filled with IE applications, all viewing porn sites.

Assuming the guy "works" 8 hours a day, 6 days a week, that's one every 8.6 seconds. I know it's possible to read a new FR thread every 9 seconds and still get work done; lots of people do that. But pornography? I doubt it.

160 hours in a month. 170,000 porno hits. That's 1062 porno hits an hour or 17.7 hits a minute, if he worked at it 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, doing nothing else.

I have my doubts.

Reading further, I see that:

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.

But still...780K hits? The man has a serious problem.

Anyone with an erection lasting more than 4 hours needs medical assistance immediately,

I wonder if he sought medical assistance? Maybe that only applies where Viagra is involved.

...after his computer became infected with a virus,

Good thing he had the computer. It could have been him with the virus.

I think the rest of the office, knowing this guy is a major perv, was using his computer to look at their porn, too.

I think his constantly typing with one hand should have tipped them off !!!

If his forearms did not look like they belonged on Popeye The Sailor Man, he would never have been caught.

Actually, those hits were likely mostly from malware from his porn sites. We had an infection where I worked, and the popup downloaders brought the whole network down. The advertisers pay per click. Once a loader is driveby installed, it brings in more and more. Even closing the browser does no good.

” 160 hours in a month. 170,000 porno hits. That’s 1062 porno hits an hour or 17.7 hits a minute, “

780,000 hits divided by 9 months = approx. 87,000 hits a month . 87,000 divided by 160 ( hours per month ) = 543 hits an hour . Still , quite a lot . ;)
