Parliamentary porn screening probed

Sometimes, doing your job can be particularly disgusting. Or pleasurable – if you’re that way inclined.

Perverts had a fine time in Indonesia’s parliament building yesterday, with hardcore pornography being broadcast over the body’s internal information service, shocking journalists and bureaucrats who rely on the screens for updates on political events.

It was not clear how the images appeared on the screens but House Speaker Marzuki Alie said whoever was responsible would be punished, AFP reported.

"Whoever hacked the screens is insolent and will be reported to the authorities," he told reporters.

The incident is sure to embarrass President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, who has recently backed calls for stricter controls on the internet following a national scandal over an online celebrity sex clip.
