Parents, This Is What Your Kids Are Listening To

I remember when Madonna was supposed to be edgy.

So Far, This Looks To Be The Best Super Bowl Commercial

Evah. Jumped the gun on this. Turned out it wasn't a Super Bowl commercial after all.

UMD Porno update

I wanted to take a moment to follow-up on the article I posted last week in which I asked what the fuck was up with UMD and the Maryland Legislature concerning the screening of a porn flick at the main UMD campus.

Well... UMD students have given a half-hearted cry of "Fuck you!" to the legislature. They showed a portion of the porn film at the heart of this matter in the student union. They had a panel discussion on the First Amendment and pornography.

Then the students attending the showing/rally/discussion decided to say fuck this and go and watch the NCAA championship game on TV.

Way to fucking go UMD students.

Skin flicks on campus? Not at UMD.

What the fuck is happening at the University of Maryland? They had arranged for the most expensive porn movie ever made (Pirates II: Stagnetti's Revenge) to be shown at the student union - but now it is canceled. Why? Because the Maryland State Senate hastily past a budget amendment that would cause state colleges and universities to forfeit public funds if they show porn movies on campus.

Hundreds of ticket holding students are likely finding this out now and saying "Fuck."

Regardless of your stance on pornography, this seems to be a bit excessive on the part of the state Senate. Threatening to cut off funding for the offense of showing a porn movie on campus? Are they going to start sending auditors through the dorms to make sure no porns are being shown in dorm rooms? Are they going to monitor campus internet usage to make sure there is no porn being downloaded? It isn't like the movie was being paid for by the university - it was entirely financed through ticket sales. (Tickets paid for by students who wanted to see the show.)

Perhaps the Maryland Senate should lighten the fuck up.

Dear Richard: WTF?

Dude, I'm sure there is a perfectly legitimate reason why your Picasa photo album includes this vintage picture of Betty Page getting spanked with a hairbrush:

But I'm sure everyone else would like to hear the explanation.
