Colleague sent Kiely near-nude images of Kerr as a joke, sources say

http://www.theaustralian.com.au/bus...joke-sources-say/story-e6frg9no-1225826668528

THE Macquarie banker embarrassingly filmed viewing near-nude images of model Miranda Kerr on live television was believed to have been sent the images in an email from a co-worker playing a practical joke.

Sources said a colleague sent David Kiely an email and told him to open it as colleague Martin Lakos carried out a live cross with the Seven Network to discuss interest rates last Tuesday.

In the video, which has become an internet hit on YouTube and news websites, Mr Kiely is then seen looking at three separate revealing photographs of Ms Kerr from a GQ magazine shoot.

The footage has had more than 200,000 individual viewings on YouTube and been published on news websites around the world, including Britain’s The Sun and The New York Post.

Mr Kiely, who was not at work at the bank’s Sydney offices yesterday, will meet with bank executives in the next few days.

Some staff at the bank expect Mr Kiely to be disciplined but allowed to keep his job. Mr Kiely has spent six years at the bank, primarily as a Macquarie Private Wealth adviser.
 
I still have no idea what he did wrong.

There's nothing wrong, but most companies providing professional services have strong emphasis on reputation. My guess is he may get transferred to a role that doesn't deal with clients directly.

If he wasn't caught in such a public manner, most superiors would just walk on by!!!
 
I know, I just think society is in a poor place if someone gets disciplined for something like this.
 
OK I won't mention any names,

But during my career as a private client adviser in one of the firms I was working in, one of the female support staff, successfully sued the company because of e-mails of an unsuitable nature.

She also managed to do in through OHS legislation so the payout she received was substantial.

It wasn't Ms Kerr it a bathing suit that she was being subjected to however, more along the lines of Debbie does Dallas.

Cheers

My boss can fire me for looking at your avatar, mazzatelli. Don't you normally mention her name in your signature?

I definitely dont think dismissal is suitable punishment for what happened.

Would be more worried if I was the sender of the email.

They both would be hoping their last performance review was good.

Mac staff would be copping it from the top down, especially the top boys

want some pr0n with that sir?

Strange how weird, random events like this can take on a life of their own.

I saw some funny things involving pr0n over the years in the workplace, practical jokes that nearly misfired, you need to be very careful in this politically correct world

Where I worked, I know of two people sacked (these are just ones I know of - there would be others)

- one for showing boxer shorts at after work drinks
- one for having a team lunch at a lap dancing joint

Going back 25+ years to the world of DOS, I can remember we used to prank people by editing their screen saver to various insulting messages, to reinforce to them that better security practice was needed.

Of course they needed admin help to rectify

Sometimes these jokes went a bit far, including once when a hardcore pr0n image screen saver descended while some poor SOB was talking to his female supervisor.

Or inserted into training material

The presence of females in the particular workplace can be a complicating issue

Secret Santas were banned at our workplace after the first one...well there was a sex toy shop around the corner

I recall a training retreat in my early days at one of the big 4 where most nights ended up with a good portion of the senior management table top dancing, feeling up a graduate and worse...

lol..I once had to place a female executive in a full-nelson, as she attemped a Mike Tyson impersonation on a hapless toad of a male exec, who had called her a slut, after an extended drinking session, in full view of shocked members of the public and fellow staff.

No one lost there job. it was fn funny to watch the shocked look on everyones faces, till i realized he was going to have to whack her back
 
Interesting article on this in the age today.

http://www.theage.com.au/opinion/so...ale-colleagues-20100204-ng33.html?autostart=1

Consider a study that showed one group of men a series of ads portraying women as sex things, and compared their behaviour with that of men shown instead advertising material without sexual imagery. Later, each man was asked to interview a female job candidate, and their behaviour was carefully observed.

Men who had recently seen women portrayed as sex objects sat closer to the interviewee, flirted more and asked the candidate a greater number of sexually inappropriate questions. These men also rated her as less competent, and remembered a great deal about the woman's physical appearance but less information that would help them decide her suitability for the job.

In other words, images of sexually objectified women prime men to perceive and respond to fully clothed women in the same way.
No doubt will rile the average ASFer :)

shouldnt surprise.

anyone has ever worked in a place of employment with large numbers of nubile, fashionably dressed, well paid, hard drinking, dirty talking ladies can testify that it does tend to reduce some males to a state of inner depravity & temporary insanity. Far more distracting than pr0n
