RiSD: That’s quite a typo… or else a deliberate but unfinished joke.

Of course he would use his flesh drive, can’t store images directly on his computer.

The most obvious explanation: he navigated to the drive, to be greeted with a 4×4 grid of thumbnail images. I don’t think it was a 16-picture slideshow. Or a slideshow at all.

@Sandhorse – clearly it was a 4×4 grid of porn, for some reason; easily counted.

I’m just curious as to who was actually taking the time to ‘count’ them. And was this verified with another congregant that exactly 16 were shown? After all, this kind of stuff is important!

I mean, if I was in the midst of worship and suddenly saw pictures of scantily clad, (or not clad at all) men projected on the screen, I suspect I would either be ‘inspired’ or appalled. But I doubt I’d have the presence of mind to sit there and go…1…2…3…

Also, “indecent images of men” is rather ambiguous. Were there multiple men in each picture or were they pictures of individual men? If the latter is the case how can that properly be described as ‘gay’ images. Again, this could be a critical piece of information as well.

All levity aside, this priest does deserve the same presumed innocence as anyone else. The flash drive could have passed through several hands before being presented. Who knows? The one upside, regardless of how you dice it, at least they were pictures of ‘men’.

Even if he had his back to the screen the whole time and couldn’t see them, you’d think the “Oh my god…” look on people’s faces would’ve clued him in that something was wrong well before he got to the 16th one, idiot.

No priest would DELIBERATELY show pornographic images (gay or otherwise) to a gathering of parents – unless he was desperate to get himself thrown out of the priesthood, in which case that would seem an extraordinarily clumsy way of going about it.

I can only suggest that either (1) he had two very similar looking memory sticks in his presbytery and in his haste brought the wrong one with him to the meeting, or (2) some malicious person managed to effect an adroit substitution before the presentation began.

Actually, a Memory Stick is a particular type of flash drive which came before the currently ubiquitous USB format. I have clients that still use the term generically because they learned it first.

I have yet to hear any of them complain about gay porn spontaneously appearing on their drives, however. Either the priest is really stupid or someone really doesn’t like him.
