What is the biggest mistake you have ever made on the job? I'd be willing to bet it's not as bad as what Yuan Mou, a technician from Fujian Kewei Optical Company, did. Not by a long shot. He was hired to fix a giant LED screen in China just outside of the Jilin City train station. I guess he fixed it all right because he accidentally broadcast 10 minutes of porn over it. Hundreds of people passing by were treated to free adult entertainment whether they were in the mood for it or not.
At first I was all like, Are you kidding me, this guy couldn't wait until he got home to watch his porn, he has to watch it while he's at work? Then I found out that Yuan Mou was living in the Kaixuan building that has the Jumbotron on it, while he did the maintenance work. So perhaps he had gotten off work and wanted to literally get off, but unfortunately he forgot to disconnect the computer he was using to watch his DVD from the giant screen.

While Yuan Mou was watching his adult entertainment, he got a call from Southern Advertising Company, the owners of the screen, letting him know that he was not watching porn alone. He promptly shut off the evening's entertainment.
Images from the mishap went viral on Sina Weibo (think Chinese hybrid of Twitter and Facebook). Connoseuirs of the adult movie genre that was being broadcast have conflicting reports of what exactly Yuan Mou was broadcasting, but most agree that they were scenes from the Hong Kong production of Forbidden Legend: Sex and Chopsticks.
Yuan Mou was taken in for questioning by the police. It's unclear if he will be facing any charges or if he still has a job.
