KNBR, a San Francisco sports radio station, is having a problem straight out of the mid-2000s. Someone is downloading pornography onto an older computer in the station. 25 videos to be exact. Quite a hefty number. First off, it’s hilarious that someone is actually downloading porn in 2014. I’m pretty sure the last time I downloaded ANYTHING was when I was in high school. It’s called streaming media, my friend, and it’s wonderful. Been around forever and mostly untraceable if you’re careful enough. Secondly, the note that management left to resolve the problem is even more hilarious.
Obviously, the station had to take action with a rogue, old fashioned smutster still on the loose in the station, so they posted this warning to the employees:
The text reads (in all caps, so you know they mean business):
PLEASE READ AND DO NOT REMOVE
THIS IS THE FINAL NOTICE: PORNOGAPHY (sic) IS NOT TO BE DOWNLOADED ON ANY SUSQUEHANNA COMPUTER IN THIS BUILDING.
AN OLDER COMPUTER FROM THIS STUDIO HAS BEEN TAKEN OUT OF SERVICE AND IN THE REBUILDING PROCESS, 25 PORNO MOVIES WERE FOUND.
WE ARE WORKING ON TRACKING DOWN WHEN THIS WAS DONE. IF WE FIND THE OFFENDING PERSON OR PERSONS THEY WILL BE TERMINATED.
HERE’S THE MESSAGE: KNOCK IT OFF OR YOU WILL LOSE YOUR JOB
KNBR MANAGEMENT
Hilarious.

What do I love? I love happy hour, a good golf tan, and getting moderately drunk during dinner.

At KNBR, you’ll get fired for this. At Grandex, you’ll get promoted.
Not that I’ve ever *ahem* downloaded porn, as a gentleman you know, but it astounds me that people even question the practice. The internet isn’t always available, and if something was hard to find (or might be taken down for DMCA reasons) it is probably worth downloading.
