An Australian banker was caught on live television looking up pornography, not realizing a newscaster was broadcasting live just a few feet away. This is classic:

The man in question works at Macquarie Bank in Sydney and had his back to the camera when Channel 7′s morning Sunrise program cut live to their business analyst giving a live update on interest rates. One of the topless images has been identified as girlfriend of Orlando Bloom, Miranda Kerr.

The video footage shows the man in question appear behind the reporter, sit down at his computer and immediately he brings up the photos in question. As a colleague chats to him from the other side of his screen, he flicks between photos of girls and financial news, before turning and finally seeing the camera behind him.

Allegedly, the photos came from an email of Kerr’s recent GQ photo shoot. Macquarie Bank is in clean-up mode and has released the following statement:

Macquarie takes matters such as the unacceptable use of technology extremely seriously,” the bank said.

“Macquarie has strict policies in place surrounding the use of technology and the issue arising from today’s live cross on 7 News is being dealt with internally.”
