How much is too much porn at the office? Evidently, if you work in a Japanese regional government office, viewing porn sites 780,000 times over a nine-month period is a little too much.

An employee of the Kinokawa government in western Japan (whose name has been withheld), somehow found the time in his work day to spend an epic amount of time on nudie sites between June 2007 and February 2008. In July of last year alone, he looked at porn sites 170,000 times. For the offense, he was demoted and took a monthly pay cut of around $200.

Now, admittedly we at Asylum have spent time browsing some of the more unsavory parts of the Internet (as we've stated before, it's all in the name of research), but we're kind of stunned that someone could find the time and interest to hit so many sites so quickly. By our rough calculation, this dude must have seen 3,000 porn pages a day while sitting in his cubicle. Still, none of his colleagues reported having noticed his activities.

Japan isn't the only place where people look at porn in the office. In fact, as we noted in January, it happens right here in the United States.

Question raised: Do you think there should be rules against porn at the office?
