Wow
Who knew that quangos were a bunch of w**kers?
In a shock revelation, US media have revealed that federal quangocrats at the National Science Foundation (NSF) have been browsing outrageous amounts of porn at work. In an "exclusive" culled largely from publicly-available documents and congressional testimony, the The Washington Times (the paper perhaps most famous for being …
So, 0.8% of employees at NSF? Clearly "endemic" has a different meaning to that which I always understood.
Government organisations might be more productive if they just got on with carrying out their remits, rather than hiring porn monkeys and then muppets to "investigate" the porn monkeys.
In just one case, a senior staff member was said to have spent "at least 331 days looking at pornography on his government computer and chatting online with nude or partially clad women".
That's not bad. He is probably entitled to 30 days of paid holiday and a few more bank holidays so that means he worked every Saturday and Sunday. Presumably he didn't have a PC at home and wanted to carry on his research project.
You'd think Government agencies would go through some kind of Internet filtering. Well I would. Apparently wrongly.
Employees of those ridiculous quangos have to do *something* all day, don't they? And since they don't do any enforcing, having been paid off by the people they are supposed to policing, they would be staring at four walls if they didn't have some harmless recreation.
What's that you say - why not abolish those quangos? Gah! That's the sort of thinking that we don't need in government.
>" ... federal quangocrats at the National Science Foundation (NSF) have been browsing outrageous amounts of porn at work. ..."
So how much exactly is an outrageous amount? And how different is an outrageous amount at work as compared to an outrageous amount at home?
I'm thinking something like "1 outrage of pr0n is the amount that would cover an area the size of Wales if you opened out all the centerfolds".
"TWaT did note that:
The foundation is hardly the only government agency to be embarrassed by disclosures about employees looking at pornography at work.
The inspector general for the Securities and Exchange Commission noted in a report last fall that it had recently conducted three investigations into employees who misused government computers to view pornography.
Nearly 4,000 people work at the SEC."
Yeah, and given none of them actually had a second in years to have a look at Madoff's filings (otherwise, things would have been crystal clear), guess how many have become pr0n kings ?
Perhaps NSF just drew NSA Traffic&Content bureau out of yearly budget just this autumn because of the agency's multiple attempts to analyze all that porn stuff. Just someone issued a circular recently about a bunch of global crooks who invented the way to deliver a sensitive information through some breached porn sites to its members (-;
A cool technique to piss off Frater Magnus Echelonicus. Also, it is considered that the uglier the porn is, the less time will officers be psychologically able to work in the bureau.
