Bank employee caught looking at nude women on national TV

[Rik E Boy]

I got an e-mail that was titled "Motorcycle crash", it then said "turn up loud, listen to the impact". When I opened it there was two blokes kissing and it was screaming out "look everybody, I'm looking at gay porn" everytime I tried to close it, it got louder. Pretty embarassing.
I've kept it and send it out to others at work when they'd least expect it, I just change the title, it works a treat.

That's your story and you're sticking to it. Good for you.

Hey I'm not gay, I have suspicions about my boyfriend though.

At least you get to widen the circle of your friends.

Just like to say, why did it get to that stage, the station concerned was doing a live cross, with live crosses etc there is about a 7 second "get out of jail" card in case the wrong word etc was said, why wasn't it used in this case and just throw straight back to the studio but no, they kept going and in fact the cameraman actually moves away from the person talking to focus on the screen and the worker. Work ethics like that belong in the gutter, not very good journalism IMHO

I don't think the 7 second delay happens for TV, that's only a radio thing.

Nope

I'd think a warning would be totally fair but I've worked at a couple of places where youd be out the door. You agree to their policy as part of the contract.

Just remember that he wasn't looking at p*rn or nude shots. She did have some clothing on. Those pics appeared in GQ magazine, which is available to pretty much all age groups in the UK.

If he's sacked for looking at pics of scantily clad chicks, that's a dangerous path to take by MacBank I'd have thought.

If a work mate emailed them to him the work mate should be looked at as wasting work time.
If he had browsed the Internet for them while allegedly working he should be the focus.
I agree the camera man could have changed the angle and avoided the whole thing ever becoming an issue..

It would end up in FWA quick smart i would think.

Agree on the first 2 points.

But on the 3rd - that would be no fun at all!

Definitely. And he'd win.

The FSU would be hoping Mac do it, some free publicity for them i would think.

[tipper]

According to adelaide now he will keep his job. looks like a win for common sense.

This just had to come. FFS this is a narrow minded load of garbage:

"The drip, drip, drip effect of male workers viewing porn is the creation of an environment that is hostile and degrading to women - and this is in violation of the Sex Discrimination Act, as human rights lawyer Professor Aileen McColgan pointed out in the Fawcett Society's recent Corporate Sexism report. But when public responses to transgressions are casual and forgiving, women may be reluctant to complain about their male colleagues' use of pornography, for fear of seeming prudish.

So go ahead and feel sorry for Kiely, by all means. I do. But don't forget all the clothed women at Macquarie whose careers he helped make that much harder.
"

So wide of the mark it's not funny. How can the Age publish utter tripe like this?

As revealed after, it wasn't even porn. The Age has gone down the shitter in recent years, it's now the HUN and the HUN is now The Truth.
