Naked image pops up during church Powerpoint presentation

Channeling his inner Tyler Durden, perhaps?

Vicar flashed naked woman to congregation during sermon

Church issues apology after vicar flashed a naked woman to the congregation during Power Point sermon.

Vicar Daniel Watts was conducting the presentation at St Mark's Church, Harrogate, North Yorks, on Sunday evening when the pornographic image flashed up on the screen.

The 'page 3' style image caused panic in the room with Rev Watts, a married father of two, hurried tried to remove it from view.

Now St Marks's has said sorry for the incident, which happened in the middle of the 'In The Mix Sunday Session' which from 5pm to 6pm, was billed as a 'café style teaching and discussion for adults and children.'

St Mark's claims the 'inappropriate' image was shown during a Power Point presentation to 50 adult members at the weekend and put it down to a 'technical glitch'.

Everyone was probably just getting bored about that time anyways. I bet they pay close attention at future meetings.

... if the computer is accessible to others, the Vicar might be a victim of someone staging a rather hysterical prank.

True story from a previous gig. New job, new city, and a new computer that I personally saw removed from the factory box and installed. While waiting for work, I went through removing unneeded crap, like pictures since I don't do wallpaper. Open up the pic, delete, next. I'm deleting the pics, and the next one is two women without any clothes who REALLY liked one another.

HOLY FUCK SHIT MOTHER OF PISS!!! Or something like that went through my head as I quickly shut the image viewer and looked around to see if anyone saw. No one did. Deleted it, emptied the Recycle Bin, then walked around the building to get my heart rate under 300.

Shame of it was the picture was pretty decent quality that I would like to have added it to my personal collection.

One of his friends bought one of those all in one touch screen PCs from Rent a Center - it was previously used. They were going through the hard drive - it had nearly 60GB of pornographic images on it.

Guess we know what the previous owner was doing with it!
