in reply to Would you work at a porn company?

I would note that working for a certain company that used to do search and which has multinational offices required me to spend a week searching for porn to test the filters necessary for each country (were the right things allowed? were the right things blocked?).

It becomes amazingly boring really fast.

Possibly the weirdest work-week ever. I posted a "SURFING PORN FOR TESTING - DON'T LOOK AT MY SCREEN IF THIS BOTHERS YOU" sign outside my cubicle, because there's this grey area - I'm required to surf porn for my job, but I'm also required to avoid things of a sexual nature that might be disturbing to other employees. The sign was the best compromise I could come up with, short of trying to book a conference room for two weeks solid. And I would have been uncomfortable surfing porn in a locked conference room for a week...
