Thirteen State Employees Fired for Sending Lewd Emails
“Thirteen employees at four state agencies have been fired in a widening investigation into sexually suggestive e-mails sent during work hours. The investigation began at the Department of Education after an employee complained about an invitation for sex from a fellow employee. After finding obscene e-mails were sent to more than 20 employees at his agency, Education Commissioner John Winn notified other agencies. Four DOE employees were dismissed and others might join them… All state agencies have policies against inappropriate e-mail and employees are routinely asked to acknowledge those rules when they are hired. Now most state agencies are reminding employees to use state e-mail accounts only for government business and refrain from sending jokes, cartoons or sexually offensive material. Some of the e-mails included nude photos of men and women and some included videos, profanity and suggestive remarks. One animation portrayed former President Bill Clinton at his desk with Monica Lewinsky and another included Barney, the purple dinosaur, and children dancing to profane and violent rap music.” —St. Petersburg Times (US)
When PervScan visited this page, there was an animated advertisement to the right of the page that said, “Toes are not hors d’oeuvres.” Because PervScan was scanning the news for perversion, it approached the advertisement with the appropriate mindset. “What’s this?” thought PervScan. “Is this some sort of ad intended to suppress the licking of toes? Is this the propaganda of some weird Anti-Foot-Fetish League? It’s outrageous! Many upstanding citizens of this fine country consider toes to be a perfectly delicious hors d’oeuvre…” Then the animation finished and revealed itself to be an advertisement for nofireants.com. Apparently fire ants nip at the toes of homeowners in the south. Who knew? Here in New York we have water bugs that look like a post-nuclear-holocaust version of the common roach. They can be as large as a cell phone and they stink when you crush them — which is nature’s way of discouraging you from crushing them.
Anyway, Florida fired some of its state employees for sending lewd emails. Apparently the bulk of this lewd email did not consist of interpersonal propositions — “Hey, Susie in Marketing, wanna fuck?” — but rather of the sort of goofy jokes and weird stuff people typically forward to each other. By way of example, the story mentions a Bill-n-Monica animation and a lewd Barney. And if you think about it, it seems pretty ridiculous to get fired for forwarding lewd Barney animations to your friends and coworkers. But at the same time, you know what? Florida did the right thing. Why? Because if these people are too idiotic to get free Gmail, Yahoo, or HotMail accounts to conduct their personal correspondence, then they probably deserve to be fired. And this is especially true for everyone who works for the government, since the government is expected to police itself. If the department head of a government agency can be fired for viewing pornographic web sites at work, why shouldn’t the lesser peons of state agencies be fired for similar abuses of their online privileges?
