I can explain porn sites on my screenshot, says politician – really, I can

That is so wordy it's like he's intentionally trying to get people lost in his words. Must have been the plan all along.

So his excuse is that he was working with Best Buy employees to track viruses from porn sites that specifically target political candidates.
Yup that's totally believable, Mike. Everyone is totally buying it.
 
Cabt help but notice how these "screenprint with porn tab" scandals never have anything too wild or out of the mainstream. This guy, Kurt Rambis, et al...it's usually some garden variety "big booty" thing. I've never seen a Conservative Christian figure accidentally tweet out a screenprint with "gay for pay" or "incest S&M" on some inactive tabs.

So maybe he's telling the truth, yeah right.
 
"An intern used the pc before me. I never noticed the tabs when I started using it."

Not that hard brah. You didn't have to pull the insanity card for this. Save tha shit till you are on TV.
 
It's some pretty inoffensive vanilla porn. Just own and say "yeah lol that's kind of embarrassing." Throw in a quick witty joke and everybody would be on his side. Not like he got caught fucking a goat or something.

He was just picking up the hooker to give her a ride home

Uhhh

Are we sure this dude is all right? Because nothing - I MEAN NOTHING - from the first porny post to the 2nd explanation makes any fucking sense.
 
While his excuse is obviously bullshit, after working there I can confirm Geek Squad's incompetence, especially with data backups. When you pay GS for a data backup, they just back up your users folder and oftentimes neglect to go over what exactly NEEDS to be backed up. Around 75% of the time I got stuck doing demos for data backups the client would leave unhappy, confused, or in the worst case angry because half of the guys see data backups as easy sales and don't care if we end up getting what the client needs (they're taught dozens of excuses to deflect responsibility anyways). Repair agents will also give any excuse possible to just wipe the OS instead of actually fixing things since OS installs are quick, easy, improve their turn time, and usually mean a "free sale" (data backups aren't covered under tech support plans). Also, 4800 "viruses" really isn't that much, Malwarebytes alone can pick up thousands of entries just because of cookies, files belonging to PUPs and adware, and lots of other relatively harmless shit; to my knowledge there's no tool that tells you which (if any) entries "require an OS reinstall." You'd have to manually skim through it and already know what rootkit or whatever is going to be a problem - I've literally never seen anyone actually bother to do that.

Americans, if this happened in Europe this could be done awawy with the guy in question just stating "everyone watches porn, get over it." Why is this not possible in the US?
 
An experiment huh? Research you say? How scientific! Been researching those particular pages for a while have you? Been studying them pretty hard Mr. Webb? I'm sure Layla and Ivone will be thrilled to be a part of this experiment! Make sure to give credit when you publish your results!

We are a young nation and still more puritanical than Neogaf's level of reasonable discourse would lead you to believe. Bible passages literally influence our political system.
 
The comments for his "research videos" are priceless.

Couldn't he just be watching porn? Frankly the strangest thing is that the porn tabs are to the left. Personally i pull my porn tabs to the right.
Why wouldn't they just be in an entirely new browser?

I don't get it. Mixing normal viewing and porn viewing seems like a very bad idea.

I read this as a tongue in cheek response, dripping with sarcasm.

Was he being serious? Christ.

Of course he was being serious. His political power is dependent upon idiots consuming disingenuous bullshit. Without those lemmings, he would have to appeal to the intellect of his peers. Ain't nobody got time for that.

Also: American Conservatives are never creative. It's a safe bet to just assume what they say is what it is.
 
In this campaign and in the exploratory phases we touched on dating sites and the song” that entraps many in Nigerian scams and we have on many occasions discussed the taboo topic of forcible sexual abuse that in 2014 in Virginia found young white girls below the ages of 17 exponentially more likely the victims than any other than victims of this crime, and, in our own Falls Church, we have some brave parents continue to break the silence with their “We Support the Girls” campaign.

What?

I get being all denial about it. His target expect so.

Sure, we all don't care, but we're not his target.

At any rate, I'd find this even funnier if he ACTUALLY was doing research. He was doing now as he said and then posted the screenshot and then went ...oh....no.... They're never going to believe me....

Guy gets caught "researching" porn, responds with a 2,000 word essay full of gibberish and nonsense. Well, I'm convinced!
 
What do you do in these situations? Just own up to it?

Like, yeah I was looking at porn like EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU DO and forgot to close the tabs. Sorry!
