Civil servant demoted for 780,000 hits to porn sites

Ah, the temptations the internet provides.

According to published reports, a Japanese civil servant was recently demoted for logging 780,000 hits on pornographic web sites over a nine-month period.

The man's name was withheld for obvious reasons, but the remarkable thing is that he did not lose his job. He was only demoted.

Since he was not fired, I can only assume he is a really good employee. After all, if he was able to do his job while surfing on all these web sites, he must have a lot of value as a worker.

It gives an all new twist to the stereotype of the efficient Japanese worker.
