Sunday WTF

Yay for Sunday supervisor calls.
Guy calls in, he's angry. Madder than our usual, "Your cable sucks!" people.
His daughter's computer wasn't working and someone told him how to restack his TCP/IP (Which we aren't suppose to do) and it ended up crashing his virus software. So internet work, virus scan no worky. I understand why he would be mad about that.
I walked him through loading our free anti-virus software to clean his daughter's computer up enough that it'll work a little faster and be some what protected until he can contact his current anti-virus company for support.
That is done, computer is being cleaned and he starts complaining about lesbian porn popups and god forbid his 16 year old daughter see them.
Suddenly, the anti-virus pauses to scan a folder titled, "Circus Clips."
He says to me, "Circus clips, my daughter must love the circus this is taking a long time."
I mention she probably has videos and stuff and we go on.
Some time later the scan is done and the guy says, "I think I'll view one of my daughters videos to see if it's streaming any faster. What do you think, Elephants rides or lions?"
I pick Lions because who doesn't like lions?
So there is silence and then... the unmistakable sound of porn music and fake "OOOOOHs"
Guy quickly shuts it off, apologizes to me and says the damn virus must have gotten to that clip. So we go to Elephant rides 1-5. Queue porn music and such.
He goes, "Hold on, I'm going to look at these high school photos folder." - More lesbian porn.
And then...
"WHAT THE HELL! BRITNEY GET YOUR ASS UP HERE!"
Few moments later:
"What Daddy?"
"IS THIS YOU?"
"Um..."
"OH MY GOD! MY GOD!" *Pauses* "Thank you ma'am I won't be needing your help any more."

WIN!

And the moral of the story? If you're going to star in your own porno, don't store it anywhere that friends, family, co-workers, or any kind of repair or service personnel could ever POSSIBLY stumble across it. Because if they can, they will.

"Some time later the scan is done and the guy says, "I think I'll view one of my daughters videos to see if it's streaming any faster. What do you think, Elephants rides or lions?"

If the video is stored locally (on the HD of the computer) then it isnt 'streamed' any faster/slower. It isnt streamed at all. It is played right from the HD. Streamed is when the video is stored on a server somewhere else and played (streamed) over the internet/network.

Just read it and use common sense. It sounds made-up.

reminds me of the guy pumping his septic tank out and getting pissed off about the condoms floating in it.
apparently his wife was on the pill and he had 2 teenage daughters.

great urban legend stuff but is it true?

"someone told him how to restack his TCP/IP (Which we aren't suppose to do) and it ended up crashing his virus software."

..never heard of any AV software that depends on IP address to work. Maybe to update, but certianly not to run. Try it yourself. Unplug your internet cable and see if your AV still works. It does. One more reason to call BS on this one.

Perhaps the AV software had shut down due to not updating?

This is one of the many reasons I run XP Professional and anyone who uses my computer other than me has to go through the guest login which does not have access to certain files and folders. I also lock down my systems when in use but unattended while others are around. That's mostly because I have several friends with nosy little kids and I'm not so much worried about them finding anything "dirty" on there (and there's so little, anyway, I burn the good stuff to CD), but so they won't start randomly clicking on things and mess something up.
