Porn disclaimer

  • Artículo

A friend of mine works in the Anti-SPAM group here
at Microsoft. When he joined the group, he was required to sign a disclaimer to signify
that he was aware that in the process of doing his job, he might see pornographic
and other possibly objectionable materials.

It makes sense, of course - wouldn't want some naive
employee to get offended and sue the company for putting such "offensive" material
in their faces (but then again, who with an email account doesn't see porn spam all
the time anyway?). But the overall idea of a disclaimer that says "Yes, it's okay
if I see porn" just cracks me up.

    Interesting! I would guess that the hiring process for that company included some sort of vetting process to determine if the employee was comfortable working in such an environment. I would not be at all surprised if they had a legal doc for it though... without it, they'd probably end up getting sued by the same type of people who sued McDonald's for making them fat. :-)

    RE: Disclaimer....One of the oddest sites I wittnessed was a fellow in A/R having to turn through each issue and note in a spreadsheet the page and size of each ad, so that if a client wanted evidence "they got what they paid for" he'd have a quick table to refer to (this was in the middle '90s, by now I'm certain they'd have a more sophisticated method).Quote this guy "My buddies think it's great to read all these skin mags all the time... after two years I'm bored with this stuff, it's all inventory to me!"
