Teacher in-service day slide show goes porno

Hempfield Area School District has launched an investigation into how a pornographic image made its way into an in-house-produced slide show and video presentation viewed Thursday by the district's several hundred teachers and administrators.
"Obviously, we're very embarrassed about it and sent out an e-mail today to our staff apologizing for it. We've promised to find out why it happened -- it was obviously distasteful -- and ensure everyone we will take action to make sure it never happens again," Superintendent Dr. Wayne Doyle said Friday.

"At this point, I have no idea how it got into the computer. Our technology department has been instructed to look into it and come back with a report on how it happened," Doyle said.

According to several sources, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, the incident occurred during Thursday's in-service day as school employees were gathered to watch a "routine" back-to-school motivational program.

"It actually was very professionally done -- up to the point it happened. They had gotten to a point where they were going to show images of various staff awards from last year. Then there was a delay, like a glitch. They couldn't get the slide to show," said one source.

What appeared next was anything but routine.

"All of a sudden, there's this photograph showing two naked men. There was silence at first, then sort of a buzzing among the audience -- 'Did we just see what we saw?' -- and then a little muffled laughter," said another employee.

Witnesses said the image was displayed "just for a brief couple of seconds" before it was turned off. The program then continued.

The employees said the computer-generated motivational presentation is prepared for professional employees each year. It includes a mix of what's new in the district, including new hires, plus a salute to retirees, a review of staff awards "and a mix of humor."

Among the humorous portions included in this year's presentation was a mimic on a popular office supply commercial with Doyle pushing Norm Pezze, the school district's personnel director, in a shopping cart.

Some of the employees said during yesterday's in-service day that "a lot of people were privately joking about it."

"Clearly, it wasn't intentional," said an employee.

Doyle said the school administration is not treating it as a harmless prank.

"We're going to find out what happened. Right now, it's too early to determine what happened," he said.

Doyle said the district is not calling in outside agencies to assist in the investigation.

"We've told our staff, 'Let's not dwell on four or five seconds -- however brief it was.' It was a very strong two-hour program up until that point," Doyle said.

The first day of classes is Tuesday.

I would've laughed my ass off...that's what I call motivation. :lol:
 
In the 6th grade a friend of my brought a porn movie to school, and we managed to convince our biology substitute teacher that watching that movie was next on our curriculum. That was pretty funny.

Afterwards, when our principal heard about it, he decided to keep the joke going, and called her to his office, and threatened to fire her, after which he started laughing and said that he was only kidding. That wasn't quite as much fun. I think she quit...
 
hahaha, both those stories were fun :ok:

bet they'll blame it on students...it was probably just a teacher who forgot to delete it...
 
Heh, I remember in school when one clan had 5-6 guys with those watches that had TV remotes on them, and I had a TV remote program for my palmpilot (it worked using the IR filetransfer port).

We kept putting it on sports and music channels.

When the teacher walked towards 1 person, he's stop doing it, and someone across the room would.

well, well

arent we the little nerdy snob...

:twisted:
 
Hehe, I remember those watches from school, too.

After the 9/11 attacks, myself and a couple of friends called the school, saying there's a bomb in it.

Staff evacuated the building, got the rest of the day off.

Hooray.
 
I did the Palmpilot IR-remote trick thing; it was easy since my school used RCA TVs, and, AFAIK, RCA NEVER changed their digital remote control codes (so a 20-year-old Digital Command Center will operate a brand new TV), and at the time I had an RCA television. I had my Palmpilot when they were new (won it in a contest; sure didn't drop $500 for the thing!) and the teacher had NO idea that it had IR capability; she thought it was a glorified calculator. I kept putting MTV on, much to the delight of my fellow students. I don't care for MTV in general but I did take delight in causing a fuss.
 
Heh, thats great m8.

My teachers knew I was somehow doing it, since it kept going to fox news channel (they were highly democrat, it irked them).

My science teacher wound up ripping the plug out of the wall. Turns out the electreal plug was somehow locked in place, dont ask why I dunno, she ripped a shitload of wires out, and sparks went flying.

I instantly deleted the program from my palm and left it on my notes for the class.

Five seconds later, she 'confiscated it (yanked it outta my hand) and had an administrator who also happend to have one look on it to find proof of what I did. He didnt find anything, and told her it wasnt me.

When I went to lunch that day, he had cafateria monitor duty, and beamed the program back to me, as I had sent it to his palm just that morning.

He knew what I had done, but didnt do a damned thing, I was laughing SO fucking hard.
 
When I told a friend of mine about the RCA remote codes, he came in a few days later with an ancient RCA remote the size of a brick; it was so old it didn't USE digital codes (First were the Digital Command Center and I think the XL100 Digital); hell, it didn't even use IR! It was so old it used ultrasonics! I give him points for trying, though.
