The couple's faces are not identifiable. Only a pair of buttocks, a pair of legs and a bare back can be seen from the window. The gender is unclear."

At first I wondered why is this girl complaining no one knows who she is.
But then I realized the Photographer is a Penn Engineering student not one from ( insert hated Alma mater) and capable of counting the numbers of floors and then windows on that floor thus deducing who lives in that apartment

I thought this was a sex scandal story about Sean Penn. Doh!

One of the photographers, an unidentified Penn junior engineering student, is facing sexual harassment and related charges from the school.

Sexual harassment?

I don't get the obsession in the USA with forcing "apologies".

This gentleman has this and that black mark, and is forced to give a "letter of apology".

A forced apology is not an apology at all.
Anybody with a modicum of intelligence knows that.
So, what is it, really?

I suppose what it is, is an exercise of power: "You shall say these words, and pretend that you are contrite, or we will punish you further."

And I presume that the reason this is used as a punishment in America is not because America is much of a shame culture, where being forced to publicly apologize for something is really at all damaging to the individual, but rather because it dramatically satisfies the personal lusts for power of those who command and compel these "apologies" - that they can force another person to mouth completely insincere words that such person doesn't want to say.

Now, the victims know they are not being apologized to, really. And certainly those doing the apologies are as sincere as anyone else compelled to do something against his will. So, who really benefits under this particularly American social custom? It is my observation that the primary satisfaction is derived by the person in power who is aware that he has compelled another person to mouth certain words against his will. I presume that the vast satisfaction achieved thereby is reward enough for the strange and as far as I can tell completely useless system of American forced "apologies" to be perpetuated.

Dang! Reading the headline I thought someone had caught Sean Penn in another compromising position...

[Dashing Dasher]

Darn - I thought it would be Sean Penn.
I was hoping he would be horrified by... oh..nevermind.

It's hard to embarrass a left pinko weirdo.

I heard they dropped the charges...good cause they were getting totally torn apart...what part of public dont you understand
