Need An Excuse for All That Porn?

From Foxnews.com:

Computer malware may have cost a former Massachusetts civil servant his job, his friends, his health insurance, his pension — and nearly his freedom.

Michael Fiola entered his own personal hell in March 2007 when his boss at the Massachusetts Department of Industrial Accidents told him that a large amount of pornography, including kiddie porn, had been found on his state-issued laptop — and that he was being fired immediately.

First off, this guy is an absolute genius. In case you didn't read the article, Michael blamed the ridiculous amount of porn found on his computer on a virus that magically uploaded porn onto his government issued computer without his knowledge.

Granted, his life got ruined in the process, but at least the Commonwealth of Massachusetts has officially said that he didn't upload that porn onto his computer. And that's what it's really about - finding a suitable scape goat / excuse for all the freaky things you look at on the Internet. I will definitely be using this excuse next time my boss catches me looking at anything not work related on my computer. Be careful though - this is a one time use only excuse. After that, you'll have to own up to what floats your boat.

And since we're all about education here at D&F - the new phrase of the day is Rule 34. Rule 34 states that pornogrpahy or sexually related material exists for any conceivable subject. For more information on this universal truth, check out Urban Dictionary.
