Who cares about some half-naked blobs on television?

Description

Today my cousin tweeted a link to a news article about a man
that was 'oogling' photos of Australian model, Miranda Kerr, whilst
working at Macquarie (an Australian banking/investment
company).

Channel 7 News has a partnership with Macquarie. During Channel
7 News' television broadcast on the morning of the 3rd of February,
2010, Chris Bath was discussing interest rates with an employee of
Macquarie.

Behind the employee was dozens of office desks and monitors.

This was during the day time, so other employees could be seen
at their computers.

One man in the background was seen viewing photos of Miranda
Kerr's latest photoshoot for CQ magazine
. It appears he
received them in an e-mail.

"On behalf of our viewers, we have expressed our concern to
Macquarie," a Seven spokesman said in response to the incident.

A Macquarie spokeswoman said the bank "takes matters such as the
unacceptable use of technology extremely seriously" and that the
matter "is being dealt with internally".

I find this whole thing quite absurd, and I hope the employee
looking at the photos doesn't lose his job because it's seriously
not that big of an issue. I doubt anyone (sane) called up
Channel
7 with complaints.

There's far more important things to talk about in the world;
like The Zeitgeist Movement.
