wasting the company's resources is more than serious.... they wasted
their time, bandwidth (maybe the company is charged by the MB), there
are sexual harassment considerations as well.... if this was a male
employee then the females could take the company to the cleaners if
they found accidentally porn on the machine.... 

... then there's the possibility the company address may be located by
the site and result in a flood of x-rated spam e-mails arriving....
and maybe their names could be found by potential customers or
competitors... 

.... or the site could be "unsafe" and result in the intranet becoming
infected with some virus or trojans that could make the company
vulnerable..... 

.... overall the results could be pretty catastrophic for a company!!
