It is sad enough that such pornographic works have escaped the pages of Adult Magazines, or that such purient behavior is thought of as avante guard. That Columbia University is used for such perversity is a disgrace to the university and its history.

[Mr. Mojo]

Even if the "art" was not performed at Columbia, the damage to the reputation of the university remains.

Reputation? Yeah right.

[HiTech RedNeck]

You couldn't write fiction a tenth as ludicrous as these fools live out.

As a Columbia alum, I'd rather have Ms. Fraser on the faculty any day over Edward Said. Fraser is just an idiot, she isn't dangerous. Said used his cred as a Columbia professor to spread hatred, anti-American, pro-terrorist views. May he burn in hell.

Mogadishu Nick is barely in the top 10.
Columbia brought over the Frankfurt Scholl, for heaven's sake. (Herbert Marcuse, Ardno,...)
Eric Foner, Edward Said, Margaret Mead,

Andrea has a "thing" for the Guggenheim....she gets paid for these stunts:

Her protege (very scary Kubuki-wise)

I'd be afraid to fall asleep around chicks like that..

I don't know. Judging from those pictures, I might not mind sleeping around with chicks like that. I bet she'd be a good time.

[A CA Guy]

What is wrong with a prostitute on the faculty in college? Compared to all the communist professors teaching in them now the whore at least has something of value to offer.

Yoko Ono?

You forgot Said's other roles as author of Orientalism and president of the Modern Language Association. (Ingsoc)

[Mr. Mojo]

Nasty list of characters there, for sure. Edward Said is something else -- a liar (about his past), an ingrate (who despises America yet somehow not enough to actually leave it), a terrorist sympathizer (who quit the PLO for being too "moderate), and a homo.

[rmlew]

This is Mad TV or SNL material presented in an artistic manner.
Frankly, I consider the fact that these women are taken seriously to be parody-worthy.

[wardaddy]

Got some freak in ya eh? well, you're on the right forum...lol

[Mr. Mojo]

I'd be afraid to fall asleep around chicks like that..

I'd even be afraid to be awake around chicks like that.

[wardaddy]

yep....performance art is sort of wacky by definition..
...think Laurie Anderson..lol

[rmlew]

This is my respose to Columbia's deification of Said.

that reminds me of the first time I went to MoMA and saw a pile of plain masonry bricks. I asked what they paid some Brit "artist" for this rectangular stack...it was several hundred grand.

Being a rube from Mississippi, I couldn't help laughing my ass off right there in front of the pretenders.

reminds me of The Emperor's New Clothes

[wardaddy]

women like that would have to be domesticated.

the latter one reminds me of a gal I knew in Tampa whose husband had shot himself (twice in the head)(she "found" him)...she kept the bloody shirt in her nightstand and liked to pull it out and sleep in it.

she looked great and a body to die for (likely) but.....

...well today my instinct would win out over my hormones....one benefit of being 46 over 26..lol

One of my old loves from the 80s taught at Barnard and we lived in Colombia Housing.

Faculty parties were a riot with me there....
