OSAKA (JAPAN) -- A teacher has been slapped with a one-month pay cut for watching a pornographic video at school, fearing the wrath of his family if he was caught watching it at home, officials said Monday. (via fark)

"I would have been in big trouble if I was caught watching the video at home, so I have been carrying it around in my bag," the 46-year-old teacher was quoted as saying when questioned by Osaka Prefectural Board of Education officials.

The teacher at a junior high school in Tondabayashi, Osaka Prefecture, borrowed the pornographic movie at a video rental shop on the night of Feb. 26, and brought it with him to school the next day.

Before classes began, he watched about 10 minutes of the film using a video deck in the science room.

When he left the room, he failed to remove the videotape from the deck, and students who attended a class there later happened to play it, the officials said.

Some female students in the class were apparently shocked by the pornographic film. (Wire reports, Japan, March 29, 2004)
