Yesterday, Agency Spy broke the news that a couple of employees at a New York-based ad agency were caught on film having sex in a cubicle, and today Gawker posted the whole (unsexy) video. The employee who shot the video (and was subsequently fired) agreed to give us an anonymous interview.What the heck happened?
It was one Friday afternoon and I received a call from a co-worker that he had found, or stumbled upon, two people making love in a cubicle. I didn't believe him, but I just ran up to meet him anyway to see what it was and sure enough, there were two people doing it. I know their names but I don't know them personally. It was around 5:10 in the afternoon -- not very late at all. It's an ad agency, so there are people there around the clock. The creatives don't leave until around 7 or 8.
And you just ran and grabbed a camera or what?
It was my cell phone, so my co-worker was snapping pictures with his iPhone and I was taping with my cell phone and there was a third guy who was just watching. It was like the Little Rascals just peeping over the wall giggling and running away and then coming back. It lasted about a good 20 minutes.
Find out how the video went viral and its cameraman lost his job after the jump.
And how did the video get out?
I showed a couple of officemates on my phone and everyone was shocked and awed. I downloaded it to my computer and sent it on to two other co-workers and that was all the digital distribution I did and it just went viral from there. And a week later it ended up on Gawker and Mediabistro and then the word got back to me that all the creatives were sending it around. I freaked. I thought it was amazing how something could go viral and end up online so quickly when I had nothing to do with it really. I didn't call Gawker. I didn't e-mail anybody.
So how did they trace it back to you?
My theory is that someone in the agency who knew it was on my phone ratted me out. I got approached by HR and I was questioned and confessed and they said thanks for your honesty but we gotta let you go.
What about the people who were having sex in the office?
They still work there. I think it's wrong. I don't see why I should get canned and not the ones who were doing the deed. But my plan is just to keep on trucking and find another job. My true goal is to join an agency as an art director.
Um, does anybody have a job for this poor dude?

For all of you making the comment about his reflection. I know him personally and that was NOT his reflection. So check yourselves before you make stupid comments!

"I know the guy...." Whatever. If I had a nickel for every time someone typed that on the internet, I'd be Warren Buffet.

It's just sex. What have you people got against sex? I've encountered coworkers having sex. I just turned around and left them alone.
Filming people having sex and then releasing into the wild is wrong. Maybe they shouldn't expect privacy where they were, doesn't mean it's right to violate it.

Things You Can Only Say at Thanksgiving and get away with!
1. Talk about a huge breast!
2. Tying the legs together keeps the inside moist.
3. It's Cool Whip time!
4. If I don't undo my pants, I'll burst!
5. Whew, that's one terrific spread!
6. I'm in the mood for a little dark meat.
7. Are you ready for seconds yet?
8. It's a little dry, do you still want to eat it?
9. Just wait your turn, you'll get some!
10. Don't play with your meat.
11. Just spread the legs open and stuff it in.
12. Do you think you'll be able to handle all these people at once?
13. I didn't expect everyone to come at once!
14. You still have a little bit on your chin.
15. How long will it take after you stick it in?
16. You'll know it's ready when it pops up.
17. Wow, I didn't think I could handle all of that!
18. That's the biggest one I've ever seen!
19. How long do I beat it before it's ready?

He was fired because:
He witnessed it and didnt report it.
He was reckless with the video.
His actions put the company at much more risk then the actions of the others.
Now, should the other 2 have been fired? Don't know, have heard only 1 side of the story.

Pretty sure sex in any public place is illegal, or generally frowned upon by the government. They really couldn't wait to just grab a room after work?
Along with that, you lose all rights to privacy the moment you started doing it in a public office, moreover...in broad daylight. You're just asking to be humiliated. It's pretty sad that any respectable company would condone such indecent behavior, and punish the least of the offenses.

I think that he shoulda got fire kinda because he recorded it without there permission the let out. but I think the people having sex shoulda got in trouble cuz I dont think its in the manual that they can have sex in work. but fuck it. Blaw!

They were having sex in a public setting. I don't feel any sympathy for having been video taped. If it was a private office at the agency that would have been different. They obviously took no preventative measures before their romp so expect what happens.
However, the right move was indeed to fire the guy but the two sex offenders should have been let go too.

That's fucked up. But how did he rat you out? You (if you are who you say you are) got busted having sex at work. He had to share that shit! Dude rules. You see people fucking and you stare, take pictures or video...then share. You should know this.

What kind of fag reports coworkers having sex to HR? His actions were completely appropriate for an agency creative -- document the event and then share it with all your giggling coworkers. His mistake was sending it out.
Now, what kind of weasel has crappy, Missionary sex on company time? Creeps me out. I don't know what her story is, but he's right up there with the masturbating CD I once walked in on. (And if I had a video phone back then, goddamn right I'd be showing it to you.)

I'll never hire that guy. What a fucktard for filming the oddest, and saddest excuse for sex happening in a cube farm in the middle of the day while others are still working. I mean, c'mon who hasn't seen people fucking at work in such a peculiar and HILARIOUS MANNER!?
It wasn't funny enough to share with the world. He obviously didn't have the creative foresight to know that no one would find this in the least bit interesting or comical.
Just because this video has the top _ ingredients to making a great video doesn't mean it makes for good viral content.
1. SEX
2. FUNNY SEX WITH UNSUSPECTING CHARACTERS (for the voyuers)
3. Pasty clenching buttox (for the gays)
4. Ghostly smiling faces (for the Paranormal Geeks)
5. Scampering and bitch-like giggles (Happy ending)
He'd be a horrible art director. I prefer to hire the two fucking in a cubicle at the peak of rush hour. Awesome creative minds.

I find nothing wrong with toolin' in the office as long as your work's done. Creatives aren't paid by the hour.. I think it was stupid of these folks to do it in a cubicle for shit's sake. But screw this guy. He probably hasn't gotten any office nookie and therefore feels jealous and has to burn his co-workers. He's a snitch and I wouldn't want to work with him. If they were stealing or ruining business fine but poking. Who cares?
