[bijou]

A Japanese civil servant was demoted for viewing pornographic Web sites more than 780,000 times during office hours over a nine-month period, an official said Friday.

The man, an employee of the Kinokawa government in western Japan, visited porn sites from June last year to February 2008, Kinokawa official Tomiko Waki said. The man's name was withheld.

Despite his frequent porn viewing, none of his colleagues noticed his activities.

'Each desk is set apart from each other,' Waki said, adding that the man accessed porn sites 170,000 times in July alone.

Viewing porn at work? You'd think employees like that would be screened out during the hiring process.

What the Government didn't have software installed to kep this from happeneing in the first place? Somebody in their IT department should have been fired too.

If he worked 7 days a week with no time off, that still comes to about 3,000 times a day.........government jobs, everyone should have one.

Given the way government works, the taxpayers of Japan would have been in greater trouble if he had actually done the work he was paid to do.

He probably had a sign on his desk saying

"More Hentai,Less work."
