An electronic touch-screen kiosk at a major hotel was hacked to show an online video demonstrating humorous uses for condoms, prompting an investigation by tourism authorities. The video appeared on a kiosk at the Souk Qaryat al Beri, adjacent to the Shangri-La Hotel and operated by Abu Dhabi Tourist Authority.

“The relevant ADTA department has launched an investigation into this situation, and the kiosk at the Shangri-La has been closed,” said a spokesman for the authority.

ADTA said it would release more information when it became available.

Someone manipulated the kiosk at the Shangri-La to circumvent the visitor advice system and connected to YouTube via a web browser. The prankster appeared to have searched for the word “condom” on the video-sharing site, and the kiosk was displaying the result in full screen.

The Abu Dhabi emirate is renowned for its stringent laws, especially when it comes to the subject of sex.
