Students huddled around under the TV screen after it started to broadcast explicit pornographic video content.

Just a few days ahead of China’s traditional Mid-autumn Festival, a school in Zhuhai gave the students something to talk about over the holiday.

Last Friday, a graphic pornographic video was played on the Peking University Experimental School cafeteria’s TV in Zhuhai, Guangzhou Daily reported. Founded by China’s elite Peking University, the incident has not reflected terribly well upon the school’s reputation.

While it’s uncertain how long the pornographic content was on TV before the school’s staff turned it off, the school claims it happened “immediately”. Unfortunately, in this case “immediately” was enough time for a number of students to take explicit screenshots and post them to WeChat.

One such screenshot was captioned “OMG! Peking University experimental school’s cafeteria is so liberal. (It) even comes with AV (adult video)!” The images posted by the students showed explicit sex scenes, according to a teacher at the school surnamed Chen, who discovered what the students had circulated on WeChat.

The school claims that a “malicious student” managed to upload the video to the cafeteria’s TV via WiFi. What has left readers baffled is how exactly the student used WiFi to upload the video to a TV controlled by the school’s staff. While the school was unable to provide an explanation, perhaps the student consulted with the Zhongshan Fuye Square employee who “accidentally” broadcast Western porn on the public square’s huge LED screen. After all, these things happen.
