And Finally... Bank goes easy on Aussie erotic pic prank worker

David Kiely, who works for Macquarie Bank in Sydney, opened an email containing the images while his colleague Martin Lakos was giving a TV interview to Channel 7 News about interest rates.

The footage became a huge internet hit, getting more than a million hits on the video-sharing website YouTube.

During the news item, Mr Kiely turned around in surprise, leading to speculation he was the victim of a practical joke.

Fearing he may lose his job as a result of his actions, sympathisers set up a Facebook group, called 'Save Dave', to campaign on Mr Kiely's behalf. He even drew support from Miranda Kerr, the model he was looking at, who said: "I am told there is a petition to save his job, and of course I will sign it."

However, Mr Kiely's supporters can breathe easy after Macquarie issued a statement which read: "He will remain an employee of Macquarie. Macquarie and the employee apologise for any offence caused."

As a result of the incident, Ms Kerr, who models for Victoria's Secret and is engaged to actor Orlando Bloom, has had a surge of interest - Google searches for her name have doubled since the story broke.
