Danish company gives staff free internet porn

A Danish IT company has given all its employees free subscriptions to internet pornography sites.

LL Media in Nordjylland introduced the idea to stop staff accessing adult material at work.

The company's director, Levi Nielsen, believes access to porn is a natural fringe benefit, like a free phone or a company car.

"We know that 80% of all hits on the Internet are on porn sites. And we can see that people also surf porn pages during work," Nielsen told Danish broadcaster DR Nordjylland.

Nielsen hopes the move will make his staff more relaxed and more efficient on the job.

I think this is a great example of how to solve a problem by "thinking outside the box".

maybe I just need another cup of coffee but I don't see how giving them free site memberships is going to make them stop looking at work

I agree. I understand the free membership is so they can surf at home ... but I believe one of the benefits of surfing at work is that loved ones are not in the general area.

Perhaps by allowing it, people are less inclined to do so?

They better be ready for the lawsuits when charges are being pressed for injuries involving carpel tunnel syndrome.
