The Swedish car manufacturer has clamped down after workers sent each other inappropriate jokes and pictures of George W. Bush and Osama bin Laden.
Fears of bad-taste humour following September"s US terrorist attacks have forced Volvo to ban its employees from sending e-mail jokes about Osama bin Laden.
The Swedish carmaker has told its workers that puns about either the attacks on New York and Washington, or the current bombing of Afghanistan, are unacceptable. According to some reports, some employees have been enthusiastically sending each other digitally altered pictures of bin Laden and American president George W. Bush.
