No Wonder the SEC missed the Financial Crisis: They were Looking at Porn

Now this is just idiotic.

A senior attorney at the SEC's headquarters in Washington admitted accessing Internet port so frequently that, according to the memo, on some days, he spent eight hours accessing Internet porn.

"In fact, this attorney downloaded so much pornography to his government computer that he exhausted the available space on the computer hard drive and downloaded pornography to CDs or DVDs that he accumulated in boxes in his office," the memo said.

What is up with the IT staff at the SEC? Don't they have a web filter in place that is set to filter out porn at the home office site at the very least? Even a web monitor and an email to their boss usually keeps them off of the porn sites at least to the extent that they don't fill up their hard drive with it. It is good to see my tax money hard at work. Doh! Bad choice of words.
