Fullerton : Porno Game Is Over and City Won, Mayor Says
As far as Mayor Richard C. Ackerman is concerned, the matter is closed. The pornography did not come from the city’s promotional videotape. It must have come from somewhere else.
Ackerman was referring to an incident at last month’s Orange County League of California Cities meeting in the Stadium Club at Anaheim Stadium.
Fullerton, host of the meeting, showed a 15-minute promotional tape, but a few minutes after it ended, a brief bit of X-rated pornography flashed onto the video screens.
The city’s tape was taken from the meeting but returned by mail to Fullerton city officials last month. “It was a council member from another city,” said Chris Meyer, assistant to the Fullerton city manager. “I don’t even know who it was.”
In a formal statement issued from City Hall, Ackerman said he had ordered the Police Department to analyze the tape. Video consultants were hired, and they confirmed “that our video only contained a 15-minute promotional piece on the City of Fullerton and no pornographic material. The pornographic material was never part of our video,” Ackerman said.
“This was just a very unfortunate incident, but it’s over now. Let’s concentrate on more important issues,” Ackerman said.
