National Park Superintendent Resigns after Porn Found on His Computer

The superintendent of the 6,000 acre Gettysburg Battlefield National Park stepped down yesterday citing ‘public scrutiny’ after a Washington Post article about an investigation that ignored his work/porn habit. The man had tens of thousands of inappropriate images on his work computer. People are a little weirded out, but according to this Gettysburg Times article (a bit of bias, maybe?) everyone agrees he did a great job. He established a nonprofit that worked closely with the park and raised over $100 million in donations for renovations.

This guy killed it at his job, and he still had time to surf the web and download tens of thousands of porn images to his computer? And the crazier part, he was getting paid $145,000 a year. It’s an NPS job! I thought those guys all made about $20k a year, max. So here’s a guy with loads of free time at work, he’s making $141k a year, and he has enough time outside his porn habit to do a great job at work? Has his vacancy been filled yet?

It gets weirder when you hear that he didn’t even get fired. The NPS looked the other way on the porn and they’re letting him get reassigned to a desk job. How was his last job not a desk job? Did he spend part of the day driving around making sure people had used the self-pay box for their campsites?

I do computer service....one guy a couple of years ago had a ton of saved porn on his computer, and had a continual problem with viruses, popups, etc. He called me in a panic one day...he had a customer in his office...and his screensaver had been changed to a slide show of his "My Pictures". :D I looked at the logs, and he was getting online about 3:30-3:45 every day, and looked at porn until 5:00 quitting time...EVERY DAY. And he was VP of the company.

I serviced a PC recently....hard drive was full and needed to swap in a bigger drive. Guy had 37,142 saved porn pics on his drive. Geez, how many do you have to look at, in order to select 37k that you think are worth saving?

BTW, I don't normally go checking for porn on PC's I service...consider that to be a major privacy issue...some computer guys like to "look around" and see what they can see while servicing a computer. I recently had a go-round with kiddie porn, and got contacted by the cops. Seems I worked on a computer, a couple of weeks later I was out of town and the customer had another computer guy work on it. He found kiddie porn and called the cops (which I would have been obligated to have done, had I run across it). I had to explain how I had serviced the computer, and supposedly not known kiddie porn was there...an accessory after the fact, so to speak. My point is....the repair of the problem that the computer had did not require the other tech to go into the directories where the porn stuff was. So...what was he doing snooping there?
 
I don't understand why anybody actually saves any of it, or would have so many pics on their computer.
You can get more than enough at any time, free, just cruisin' via Google.

...or is that when they say "10,000 pictures" it's just that that's what they find in the internet Explorer cached files mixed in with 50,000 banner ads and random GIFs?

(mental note to self... need to empty out that cache...)
