Salary man sin

The Japanese salary man’s commitment to the company and the demented levels of overtime this often demands are almost legendary, with even the term karoushi (death from overwork) having to be coined to cover such occurrences.

But not all employees are quite so industrious, as a sadly unnamed civil servant in Wakayama Prefecture was more likelier to have perished from an almost improbable profusion of porn than the pressures of his position, having been caught amassing more than 780,000 hits on pornographic web sites from June 2007 to February 2008 — the presumably far from busy fella having an especially steamy summer with a sensational 170,000 hits in July alone.

The man’s almost superhuman surfing only arousing suspicion after his computer was affected by a virus, with apparently nobody noticing his far from bureaucrat-based browsing as, “Each desk is set apart from each other.”

He has since been demoted and docked 20,000 yen a month, although how close his new desk is to those of his colleagues hasn’t been disclosed.
