The timing on that was perfect. The guy turned around just before the newscast returned to the studio. | |
On page 127 of the Epic Book of Fail, that guy.... | |
Let's hope his wife isn't interested in Australian economics. | |
That was one of the funniest things I've ever seen. I love when random stuff happens in the background of newscasts. Much more interesting than the actual news report. | |
Best. News story. Ever. Seriously, who is dumb enough to do that. | |
I love how you can see, in that fraction of a second where he turns around and looks into the camera, a dawning realisation followed by a classic "OH FUCK ME!!!" face. :) | |
It's almost like a sitcom but in real life... | |
"I'm expecting a raise...down here | |
Its like... Words escape me... | |
That guy must feel really stupid now. And he should. | |
Ha ha, now that was funny. Especially when he turns around the last second. | |
Oh wow. Amazing. | |
Oh my, how embarrassing.... hilarious though XD | |
He should learn to work with his environment. | |
That was great! | |
Haw, Awesome. | |
Its almost as if god has a sense of humour | |
Poor guy, but seriously that place is packed! I'm sure someone would have noticed even if he hadn't been on TV. | |
That has to be one of the funniest things I've seen in my entire life. | |
Smile, your on Camera. That was just lovely, just... just lovely. | |
if he's married i bet he was in SO much trouble | |
Wow that must I've been really embarrassing and on a live news broadcast, how much worse could it get for the guy. | |
I think whoever was in charge of the news programme told them to end the footage pronto... Still, funny indeed. | |
I laughed out loud, in real life. Gotta love HDTV! | |
Seriously bad timing on his part, would think one would know that your management was going to be on TV. Still damn hilarious though. And from what I could see, she was hot. | |
That's awesome. | |
That was hilarious. My day has been brightened. | |
You'd think this guy would be a little more careful in what he puts on his screen when the tv camera is right there behind him. | |
He must be seriously lonely. | |
I loved the expression on his face when he looked at the camerea. He gives a quick glance then shoots back to his computer and closes his email. Fantastic timing buddy. | |
What a guy!, the funniest thing I've seen all day. | |
Hahahaha, oh I needed a laugh that was awesome. Thanks for that AC! | |
Unlucky guy :L aha | |
Wow, just wow, I really don't think I've laughed at something so hard today when I saw this. Going through guy's mind: Wait I'm at work, they can see me. Just take a quick peek back. Oh SHIT, they're filming. | |

Banker Busted Looking at Porn on National TV
An employee at an Australian bank has learned an important life lesson: If you're going to check out porn while you're at work, it's best not to do it while you're being broadcast on national television.
So you're sitting at your desk, plodding away at whatever sort of drudgery the day has dropped in your lap, when your email alarm goes off. It's from Phil on the third floor and it says, "Check out this hottie!" The day is long and you're desperately bored, so you do. The young lady in the attached photo is smokin' indeed, so after taking a moment to admire it you cast a conspiratorial whisper toward the cubicle next to yours. "Dave," you say, "check out what Phil just sent me."
And then Dave leans over, has a look and says, "Dude, you're on television."
That's how a bad day gets started in a hurry, and it's also exactly what happened to an employee at Macquarie Bank in Australia. The unlucky fellow picked a really, really bad time to check his email and pop open a NSFW attachment: While Macquarie private wealth adviser Martin Lakos was being interviewed live by Australia's Seven News about the decision of the Reserve Bank to hold the line on interest rates, directly behind him.
The bank, of course, is less than happy. "Macquarie takes matters such as the unacceptable use of technology extremely seriously," it said in a statement. "Macquarie has strict policies in place surrounding the use of technology and the issue arising from today's live cross on 7 News is being dealt with internally."
Making it even more perfect, the poor guy actually turned around to face the camera when he realized what was happening, giving the whole world a good look at him. I bet somebody's mom is real proud tonight.
