A blundering IT worker accidentally put his personal porn stash on a city centre big screen while taking his lunch break.

Families were left horrified when an image search showing full female nudity was magnified outside Maryland Stadium in Langzhou.

Luckily, security guards spotted the gaffe after 12 seconds and pulled the plug - but several onlookers had their camera phones out and the damage was already done.

Because of China's strict laws on pornography, the red-faced engineer, who has not been named to spare his blushes, was promptly arrested and marched off the premises.

Pictures were uploaded to social networking website Weibo and they soon went viral.

The screen operator's hard day at the office was made worse, as he was subsequently jailed for 15 days and was ordered to pay a fine of ¥3,000 (approximately £300).
