Shaanxi police today announced that during a marathon seven-day porn-watching binge, they managed to break two computers in the course of their investigation.

After busting a seller in Xianyang city for brazenly selling porn DVDs out on the streets, the police were left with the arduous task of identifying and categorizing the coarse material in order to build their case.

Over the course of a week, officers from the public security bureau were tasked to watch over 1,000 DVDs, a workload which proved to be too much for the IT infrastructure at the office.



According to Tencent, two computers used during the course of the investigation were damaged beyond repair, but fortunately the Shaanxi police officers were not deterred and managed to successfully determine that 640 DVDs were of a pornographic nature.

China’s intensifying crackdown on porn has created numerous well paid job opportunities across China, with Chief Pornographic Identification Officers raking in up to 200,000 RMB for their services. The job is demanding however, as new recruits are expected to watch an average of 700 pornos a week.

We at Shanghaiist would like to advise public security bureaus around the country that if watching copious amounts of bootlegged porn is part of the job description, you might want to upgrade from running pirated copies of Windows XP and get some security software.
