When you're at work it's never a good idea to surf the porn sites

The municipal government in Washington, DC has had "difficulties" in the past, but this is kind of over the edge. Read this article about how their employees have been surfing the web on city time, and accessing porn sites. Frankly, I don't see why those sites would be remotely interesting, but I guess they seemed to think they were.

"Employees from 18 city agencies, including the Office of the Attorney General, were accessing pornographic or sexual Web sites.

D.C. Attorney General Peter Nickles says the employees' actions are egregious.

"It's outrageous that people should access hard-core pornography, but to do it on government time...," Nickles says. "This will not be tolerated in our government, and least of all in the Office of the Attorney General.""
