Pornographic Movie on Senate TV Channel
Wed December 18, 2002 10:36 AM ET
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A Senate recording studio worker who broke the rules by dubbing a pornographic movie at work compounded his sin by inadvertently showing the film on an internal Senate television station, an official says.
The Senate Sergeant-at-Arms office said Tuesday the employee was placed on administrative leave for the Dec. 6 event, in which an unidentified pornographic film was put on a closed circuit channel available in Senate offices.
Because it was about 7 a.m. on Friday when the Senate was in recess, relatively few people saw the movie, which was interrupted when some Capitol police noticed it.
The Senate recording studio is usually used for such things as lawmakers taping appearances for hometown shows or making videotaped copies of speeches. Early in the morning, it often broadcasts such decidedly nonpornographic programming as lessons on parliamentary procedure.

ok...I'm not THAT bored at work. But I guess if I had to listen to and dub speeches for 8 hours I'd look for something more livelier too. Maybe he should have bought a gameboy :)
