Supermodel Signs Petition To Save Porn Browsing Man's Job
An anonymous reader writes "Following worldwide attention after being caught looking at pictures of Miranda Kerr at work while a colleague was being interviewed on TV, a petition to save David Kiely's job has started. Stated motives: He seems like a nice bloke, the pics weren't hardcore, he has suffered enough, and, maybe more important, there's just too much political correctness in this world anyway. Showing class and sense of humor, miss Kerr said she will sign the petition."
True, the employer is embarrassed, and therefore mad. But won't more people be watching that news show, in case another incident occurs, which means more eyeballs on commercials. Therefore more money to the employer.
It may be embarrassing but possibly beneficial to the broadcast in general.
Which is probably why they're making such a big deal about this.
