Banker left red-faced after live TV boob

    A banker has been left red-faced after being caught looking at racy near-nude photographs on his computer live on Australian television.
    The Macquarie Private Wealth employee in Sydney clicked up the images of Australian model Miranda Kerr's latest GQ shoot, unaware a colleague nearby was doing a live television interview about the government's decision not to raise interest rates.

    Australia's Seven Network broadcast the news item yesterday, with the photographs clearly showing on a computer screen in the background.

    At one stage, the man turns and looks directly at the television camera and realises he is in its line of sight.
    The incident has become a global internet hit with over 200,000 views and a 5-star rating on YouTube. It was reported widely in Australia's newspapers today.

    Macquarie Bank, known locally as the "millionaire's factory', said it was taking the matter seriously.

    "Macquarie has strict policies in place surrounding the use of technology and the issue arising from today's live cross on Seven News is being dealt with internally," the bank told local media.
    Macquarie declined to name the employee. He is understood to be a mid-level client investment manager. He has reportedly been meeting executives to determine his future.

    It's ok. We expect Google Ads to be wrong frequently.

    Yup - that lad in particular.

    He's the one to blame cause he spent the whole time looking at photos of scantily-clad women on the internet instead of doing his job.

    Let's find him and get him. He's the one responsible and if there's ever a mention of a banker on the news ever again let's bring up the world economy thing even when it's nothing to do with it at all. That'll show them. That'll show them all!

    Can you directly attribute that guy to the financial crisis?

    You do realise most people in banks are entirely innocent and it was probably less than 1% of them who would have had the authority to do anything even remotely controversial.

    I mean, if a guy can't look at a pair of titties any more what is the world coming to!!
