TrancePI: FTFA:The fact that the employee wasn't charged with the obvious "possession of pornography," which is illegal in China, leads us to believe either Wenzhounese have a strange definition of pornography, or there was a backroom "plea bargain" involving the video in question.

I cant figure out if they are implying that the employee paid off the police in money or with butt sex.

Well, whatever works.

/amusing

Video, or it didn't happen.

GrymReeper: Video, or it didn't happen.

You mean we need video of the video? I don't think the Chinese cops would like that.

Some kids used to get a kick out of putting beastiality websites onto the PC that ran to a monitor on the wall for class display, at least 3 times throughout the year the teacher would unknowingly turn that TV on. The teachers face would turn red and he'd sprint to the front of class to unplug the TV cord.

If you have a PC dedicated to your video billboard, why wouldn't you have giant "Do Not Touch" notices all over it? Maybe even lock away the keyboard and mouse when not updating content?

It turns out the "culprit" was just a lonely office worker who didn't realize the computer he was using for his private time was linked to the massive billboard outside.

Okay, so only lonely people surf porn. I am offended. I have plenty of online friends

Well, it was very nice of him to share. If you don't have enough for everyone...

I wonder if it was asian porn

Police were notified, but when they arrived about an hour later, they were undoubtedly disappointed to find the billboard resuming its normal operations of car advertisements.

*snort*

I think this has made my day...

Ask, and you shall receive

"possession of pornography," which is illegal in China,

How sad for them. :(
Also, if the people in the street were videotaping the LED billboard wouldn't they now be in possession of pornography and breaking the law?

Goddammit, Mythdragon !

What kind of porn do you suppose lonely office drones in China watch? Do they have western girl fetishes?

If they take their cue from the Japanese, I have no doubt the billboard display was more than a little horrifying.

Ours had the pc to overhead display adapter going and we'd keep sending netsend commands to him, clearing the display with everything but our text. Good times. One of the kids had one of those tv remote wristwatches and that was pure gold for days.

enricofermi: I wonder if it was asian porn

Tiny penises or pixellated crotches?

CarpeScrotum: enricofermi: I wonder if it was asian porn

Tiny penises or pixellated crotches?

Pixellated snizz syndrome, or PSS, is no laughing matter. It is a sexually transmitted disease that results in the sufferers vocal cords to tighten, permitting only whimpering and mewling sounds, and general paralysis during coitus. In cerain cases it cases extreme drowsiness to the point where the woman 's eyes remain shut during the act of sex or even actual sleep. When transmitted to the male it causes devastating hypotrophy of the penis.

This is the part that struck me:

"played a pornographic video for a full ten minutes."

The same video for a full ten minutes? Must have been his second time that day.

Virtual machine.

If you are streaming it over the internet how is it posession?

Police were notified, but when they arrived about an hour late

Showed up an hour later? Must be the LAPD.

On that note, it seems like lately the Japanese have been making a concerted effort to select guys with larger wangs.

/they apparently still can't find male porn actors who don't have faces that look like they're having an allergic reaction, though
//much worse than the meatheads they find in the US

Porn is illegal in China.

...

We must liberate our Chinese brothers!!!1

I have been on several webcasts where the presenter forgot to stop sharing his computer with everyone else, and brought up "interesting images", shall we say. Nothing illegal, but definitely pornographic.

I also know of an administrative assistant who was laid off but had to update a presentation for his manager before he left. He slipped in pornographic images, reviewed the real presentation with the manager, but replaced it with his modified presentation on the laptop being used for the meeting. About 10 slides in the fun began, in a room full of people, and much hilarity ensued.

Unauthorized distribution of content via billboard. If this happened in America, he'd have copyright lawyers swarming him.

CSB:

About a decade ago I worked at a game company and we had a PC hooked to a large screen TV out front looping game videos and our screensaver. The system kept screwing up, so we were constantly troubleshooting it. It turned out someone had the exact same model wireless keyboard and it was picking up his keystrokes. We discovered this by opening notepad and about 7 of us watching him type up a letter to his attorney about divorcing his wife.

big_hed: Police were notified, but when they arrived about an hour late

I would think, that an hour later, you would be hungry for more porn.

Anyone got the link for the video in question?

Yes. Spoiler alert; he fixes the cable.

unyon: I hate when that happens. Boy, do I have egg on my face.

I'm guessing that's not egg.

"a large crowd of people (luckily no children) gathered in the intersection to watch"

They took a survey?

There's a difference??

If it's anything like the Chinese porn for $2 at the local Chinese video store, it was just bad. No one enjoyed it, bad times were had by all. By both the people watching it and the people in it.

In the last couple I saw, you could almost imagine Red Army guys with bayonets and rifles pointed at the participants, telling them to hurry up.

Bad: Using your work PC to view porn.

Woah woah woah. If you can't even start the headline off correctly, you don't have much hope of recovering.
