People better learn that technology is a “good news/bad news” introduction into our daily lives. Ohio State Representative, Matthew Barrett learned this lesson the hard way while he was giving a civics lesson to a group of high school students.

Can you imagine the explosion in that high school class room when a state politician, probably extremely smug and condescending is enlightening our youth on exactly how a bill becomes a law and suddenly he projects a photo of a nude woman? Oh, how I wish there was video being taken during this “class”. Anyway, didn’t they used to teach to that during Saturday morning cartoons in like a 5 minute public service announcement? I will have to try to dig that up unless some StopGeek readers can find it first.

Anyway, in typical US politician fashion he promptly cooperated with the authorities in order to determine how that image made its way onto his “data memory stick”. (You don’t know how hard it is to pass this pun up) We all know how it got there anyway, no need for a big investigation. Doesn’t SanDisk ship free porn on all of their memory devices these days? Or do you suppose this was one of those “magic memory devices” that automatically collect data on their own?

For now I will leave you with a few quotes from the original story, there are just too many jokes to count here…

Barrett said there were a few snickers from the approximately 20 students in the senior government class at Norwalk High School when the image appeared. He said he immediately pulled the memory stick out of the computer.

The legislator said he finished his lecture using printouts and then met with the school’s principal and technology staff, who examined the stick. He said the school’s technology director determined the stick had a directory of nude images in addition to Barrett’s presentation on civics lessons.

“I have no idea where these came from,” the Democrat said.

Barrett said the data memory stick was a gift he received about three weeks ago from a legislative liaison from the state Library of Ohio.
