Virgin IT dept shocked by donkey-shagging Taliban
2011-06-07
Four Virgin Atlantic employees at Gatwick airport were sacked after a video purportedly showing a member of the Taliban having sex with a donkey was emailed to the airline's entire IT department.

The vid, called "What the Taliban do when they are not making improvised bombs", according to the Sunday Mirror, was accidently distributed by "turnaround co-ordinator" David Armstrong.

Bosses sacked him and three others and warned them they "may have been in breach of the Obscene Publications Act".
Correction: the video most certainly was in breach of the Obscene Publications Act. No doubt the cognoscenti are sniggering as they wonder whether green Wellies were involved.

#9  Was the video a mockumentary or a documentary? Let's not be hasty in firing people?

#7  Well, at least some organizations have more ethics than Congress. Then again, most organizations have more ethics than Congress.

Which organization? The one that made the video, or the Taliban?

Isn't that pretty much a given?

#4  Hey, just because it's on your computer screen doesn't mean you have to watch it.

Excercise a little self-control and turn it off!
