About this time last year, the whole world was laughing at David Kiely, the unfortunate employee of Macquarie Bank who was threatened with the sack for looking at nude pictures of supermodel Miranda Kerr. His momentary lapse of judgement probably would have gone unnoticed, were it not for the fact that his colleague was giving an interview to Australia's Channel 7 news team just over his shoulder.

Eagle-eyed viewers, no doubt bored by incessant coverage of the financial crisis, were quick to pick up on Kiely's firewall-troubling browsing habits, and he became something of a folk hero. Kerr even came forward during the fall-out to defend her number one fan, telling newspapers "I am told there is a petition to save his job and of course I would sign it."

Fast forward 12 months, and Indonesian politician Arifinto is probably wishing he had a few shapely stars rushing to his defence, since he's been shamed into stepping down from his role as a member of parliament.  He was forced to resign after a photographer caught him catching a sneaky eyeful whilst he was on the job. Don't be disgusting, I mean he was checking out some red band content during a debate.

The problem is, Arifinto isn't exactly a fan of the women he was watching in the workplace. Since he was one of the lead proponents of Indonesia's tough anti-pornography laws, this is a clear example of that age-old political adage 'do as I say, not as I do'.

Look, we've all found ourselves clicking on a dubious link at work, only to be faced with a body parts stretched beyond recognition, as though they were made of silly putty. And that was Arifinto's excuse too. According to The Daily What, he claimed that he'd "accidentally opened a random e-mail link", which might even be believable had he not spent several minutes checking out the footage in question. Maybe he just wanted to be really sure that he was offended.

Sadly, the mono-monikered politico may end up falling foul of his own legislation, in which case he could face several years in prison. Alanis Morissette might mistakenly label that irony. I call it poetic justice.
