Funny story.
Our children’s church program at my church (I’m involved in the program) is an elaborate affair, complete with live actors, songs, DVD video clips, PowerPoint slide shows, etc. The program was developed by another church in our denomination, and we paid for the rights to use it. As such, from time to time we will download songs, video clips, etc. from the other church’s website.
Yesterday (Sunday, 1/2/05) the adult sponsors were going over the program about 30 minutes before church, in order to make sure the AV (audio/visual) guy knew where the clips were, etc. No one was in the room at the time except the director, the AV guy, and the actors (myself and a few others). The AV guy is going through the children’s minister’s computer, watching and listening to everything. Everything he’s watching and seeing is projected on the wall of the children’s church classroom (as it would be during church, otherwise the kids wouldn’t be able to see it).
So we get to this song, accompanied by a PowerPoint slide show, and it’s playing, both on the children’s minister’s computer and on the screen. About halfway through the slideshow, there’s a picture on the screen of a naked woman with her legs spread and her hand on her clitoris :eek: !
:eek:
The director’s face goes pale. The AV guy starts frantically moving his mouse around, trying to delete the picture. The actors in the room collectively gasp. Eventually, the pic was deleted, from the screen, from the directory, and from the Recycle Bin. We played through the clip again and nothing untoward happened.
During the actual children’s church service, you could see the fear on the director’s face. Fortunately, nothing bad happened.
The children’s minister is on vacation, so she wasn’t there to answer how that got onto her computer. Not that anyone thinks she’s looking at porn, mind you. Best we can figure is that some joker cabbaged a naked pic into the slide show as a prank.
Anyway, if we hadn’t screened the clip before church that pic would have been on the screen in front of about 40 stunned K-5th graders. :eek:
