Surfing Porn At Work OK In Norway

from the get-back-to-work dept

Two Norwegian workers won $40K each after a court ruled they were wrongfully fired for surfing porn at work. After Norway made it illegal to rip CDs and outlawed Google this year, I was beginning ton wonder if Norway was technologically backwards. Now, maybe Norway sounds like a nice place to live. Anyway, back to surfing porn... um, I mean.. work.

    Good to know Dennis. If I'd ever meet you I'd know not to shake your hand. Whatever people choose to do in front of their personal computer outside of work is their business, but at work? Give us a break. Do you really want your coworkers wanking off in the next room? Ick!
