The Sun (UK) British troops have been banned from surfing ebay because it’s too distracting – from national defense.

Military IT experts discovered that servicemen who had returned from overseas duty were busy spending a £2,240 bonus on the auction site.

Top brass were worried it was too much of a distraction, so brought in the ban across the MoD’s internet network. It applies to all 180,000 men and women in uniform AND 100,000 civilian staff.
