    No arrest for criminal negligence?

    Seems like the dopes who couldn't adequately secure their system ought to bear some of the blame.

    It would be interesting to know just how well protected it was. (I bet it wasn't protected at all.)

      They did, they did...

      Government was furious about this, introduced rush rules and regulations to tighten the industry.

      Hilarious as the incident was, ensuing blame-game was even more hilarious.

      Most notable hilarity was the add company blaming the internet company from whom they steam traffic data via RSS to display on the board, hoping that big name internet company (Russian equivalent of Google) would get the blame. Forgetting about the fact that RSS does not tend to hold video files.

    Couldn't agree more. I for one am sick of having it constantly shoved down my throat.... wait, hold on!

    I'm sorry, but this hack is superb!

    after all, there's no way a few minutes of a couple going at it can be any less enlightening than the usual fare that's splashed across billboards

    At least he had the good taste to leave it until after the watershed. If you're old enough to be walking around the city center at 11pm, you're old enough to watch some porno, that's what I say.

    I love that the woman was so "shocked" that she couldn't take pictures. What was she gonna do with them? Put them on the mantelpiece?

    heart attack

    I heard elsewhere that some guy watching it had a heart attack. Am I a bad person for finding that funny?

    A couple of notes:

    1. next time he should hold a online auction for the right to choose which action gets played.

    2. what would it take to have this done all over Canberra?

    Is it that much different than "regular" programming?

    I once went to a local mall a couple of years ago, and was greeted by p0rn being shown in the food court screens. However, this "porn" was actually a 50 cent video. So you don't really need to hack these things to get porn, just switch to rapper videos!
