Does Guiness have a category for this?

Companies as well as private agencies have every right to have a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to downloading online pornography, even soft-core erotica. Obviously, it's a drag on bandwidth -- so if someone wants to entertain themselves they can but they should do it at home and not on company time.

But for every guy or gal who's "accidentally" reached a website once or twice at work, there are the really addicted. Like this guy in Kinokawa, Japan, for viewing porn sites for what must be a record 780,000 times. One month alone last year, he made 170,000 visits.

What are these civil servants doing on our time?

He only got caught when a virus entered the system and the computers had to be debugged -- prompting a check of the browser history and log. He was demoted and received a pay cut of about $200 a month. Um, how about FIRING the guy?
