‘And now on platform phwoar…’ Chinese IT worker unwittingly beams porn onto giant screen at train station

An IT worker has been caught watching porn at work  – after he accidentally screened an X-rated film on to a large train station television he had just fixed.

Hundreds of passengers reportedly stopped to stare at the monitor, outside the Jilin Station in China, as the film played for at least ten minutes.

It is believed the technician had hooked his laptop up to the screen – usually used to show adverts – to fix a fault.

But once the job was completed, he apparently failed to disconnect the two devices.

It seems he then turned his attentions to the X-rated film, unaware that it was also being watched by crowds of passengers and passers by outside the station.

The Sun reports that police have questioned the worker, but as yet have not filed any charges against him.

A film has been uploaded to YouTube which shows crowds of people staring in confusion at the screen.

 

Kim Kardashian Gives Kanye West a Steve Jobs-Signed Apple Mouse

Who knew Kanye West was so nostalgic for Apple products? Father’s Day seems to have come a bit late for the rapper who tweeted this morning a photo of two Apple Pro computer mice adorned with the autographs of Apple founders Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak.

“One of the other gifts my girl gave me for fathers day pic.twitter.com/WnlZaMhVtw,” @kanyewesttweeted with the photo attached.

West had a baby daughter named North West with Kim Kardashian last month. It is unclear how much Kardashian, 32, who West recently said was his “true love,” paid for the two individually signed mice, although it is rare to find items that are autographed by both of the founders. Autographed Steve Jobs memorabilia ranges from $200 to 6,000 on eBay.

So what would Kanye, 36, want with two Apple Pro mice from 2000, 11 years before Jobs died at age 56? No, West isn’t likely a fan of the transparent, button-less gadget, but instead is a big admirer of the iconic Apple co-founder Jobs.

The world’s largest building has opened in China capable of fitting 20 Sydney Opera Houses – or three Pentagons – inside.

The New Century Global Center in Chengdu, Sichuan province, is a staggering 19million sq.ft. and contains shopping centres, a Mediterranean village, a water park, an ice-skating rink, and multiple hotels.

However, visitors to the glass panelled building need not worry about the weather as the giant complex will have its own artificial sun.

The building is 500 metres long, 400 metres wide and 100 metres high, reports said.

According to Chinese officials, the New Century Global Center is the largest freestanding building in the world, and took three years to complete.

Chinese guide Liu Xun told AFP He added that the artificial sun built inside the building will provide light and heat 24 hours a day for shoppers exploring the around 400,000 sq. metres of boutiques and stores.

The 22-year-old who was working in Hong Kong, China, was arrested after her employer noticed the tea had strange odour.

She confronted the maid, who admitted to tampering with her drink, although the reasons are unclear.

The maid now faces a jail term for ‘administering noxious substances’ – urine and dirty laundry water are potentially hazardous to human health, reported Shanghaiist.

The identity of the maid and her employer are not known.

Last year a maid in the UAE who added urine to her employer’s tea was jailed for two months.

The 26-year-old Indonesian housemaid was found guilty of endangering the life of a family by the Dubai Court of Misdemeanours.

The maid carried out the crime in order to make the family like her, records say.
