A troubling report regarding the National Science Foundation - surely there's some way to pass this off as research? Not sure I'd want to work in one of those cubicles at this point.
Grassley, the ranking member of the Senate Finance Committee, on Tuesday fired off a letter to the NSF’s inspector general requesting all documents related to the “numerous reports” and seven investigations into “Abuse of NSF IT Resources” cited in the foundation’s 68-page semiannual report.
Despite the less-than-lurid sound of the probes, the employees in question weren’t just logging onto their Facebook accounts or buying birthday gifts on Amazon.com. The report says they were watching, downloading and e-mailing porn, sometimes for significant portions of their workdays, and over periods of months or even years.
In one particularly egregious case, the report says one NSF “senior official” was discovered to have spent as much as 20 percent of his working hours over a two-year interval “viewing sexually explicit images and engaging in sexually explicit online ‘chats’ with various women.”
Looks like the on-line porn industry will need a bailout once the government cracks down on this!

It's the science foundation. They were studying to see how STDs are spread.

Wow it sounds like the perfect job for Harpo!
Suck off of the government teet and whack-off all day.
Now I know where the whole "Wifey" thing came from!

they should make the argument that they thought the stuff they were sending was from within the dept.
They just confused the NSF with NSFW(not safe for work). an honest mistake.
