VAN NUYS, Calif.—In light of recent revelations that dozens of Securities and Exchange Commission employees spent their time watching internet pornography while the country’s economy was being turned upside-down by the very people the SEC is supposed to oversee, one company has stepped forward with a solution designed to prevent this sort of travesty from occurring again.
Adult entertainment studio Pink Visual has announced a discount program aimed at government workers, in which, starting on May 5, new customers who sign up using a ‘.gov’ email address will be given a free two-week trial to the company’s flagship subscription website, PinkVisualPass.com—provided that the workers only use the site between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m.
“Our thinking is that a certain percentage of government employees are going to watch porn no matter what you do, and there’s nothing wrong with that, so long as they are doing it on their own time,” said Pink Visual Brand and Product Manager Kim Kysar. “By offering them incentive to use the site only after work hours, we’re doing our part to encourage them to be productive when they are on the clock, and save their porn surfing for more appropriate times.”
Kysar said that the website will be set to deny access to members who take advantage of the promotional offer if they attempt to sign in during the work day.
“After hours, they will be able to enter the site and download content like any other member,” Kysar said. “During the work day, they will be greeted by a message that says ‘Stop wasting our tax dollars and get back to work!’ We think this strikes a nice balance between honoring the rights of government employees to enjoy adult entertainment, while respecting the fact that they have an important job to do.”
Asked how their promotion would stop government workers from visiting other porn sites during work hours, Kysar conceded that Pink Visual’s public service efforts “will not be a cure-all for the problem of government workers wasting their time.”
“Ultimately, all we can do is offer incentive for them to be more conscientious about how they spend their time at work; it’s still up to the individual to do the right thing,” Kysar said. “We know that our movies are like an irresistible siren’s call for many people, and apparently government employees in particular, so we felt compelled to try to be part of the solution here, and not just a source of temptation. It’s a lot like all those TV ads you see from beer companies encouraging you to ‘drink responsibly,’ when you think about it.”
