X-rated films exposed on campuses
Washington Times ^ | April 2, 2009 | Jennifer Harper

...Some of the most hoity-toity universities in the nation are offering students an unusual distraction from the stress of academic life. In recent weeks, "Pirates II: Stagnetti's Revenge" - an X-rated swashbuckler with hundreds of special effects - has been screened in campus theaters at the University of California at Los Angeles, Northwestern University, Carnegie Mellon University, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and Southern Connecticut University. The University of California at Davis will show "Pirates" on Thursday evening, the University of Maryland at midnight Saturday.

"I'm always impressed by the open-minded attitude in our country's universities. Sex is a topic which should be discussed in the open. It is no longer taboo," said Ali Joone, who wrote and directed the film and serves as chief executive officer of ...a California-based adult-film studio that has produced more than 300 titles.

The company is mainstreaming its racy fare, offering films to student activities offices around the country. Though policies vary, campus officials do not forbid pornographic materials to be screened for the most part, though some administrations stipulate that attendees must be older than 18....

But heaven help the degenerate Christian who openly prays or eats trans-fat foods.

Does their open mindedness extend to inviting members of the NRA? The American Legion? Free Republic?

Nothing new here. I was shown a porno in a criminal law class at UCONN in 1970.

Gee, come to think of it. That was the year I had to get glasses. A coinkydink?

I saw “Behind The Green Door” and “Debby Does Dallas” on campus at Michigan State University in 1985.

I went for the porn, but mostly just to walk past all the protesting feminist hags. Ughhh.

Then there was the time I walked into the middle of a campus “die in” with a rubber M-16.
It looked like a massacre.

Students and faculty who want to make a stir try this periodically.

Back in the ‘80s, at Arizona State, they decided to upset the administration and local citizenry by airing the already antique porn movie “Deep Throat” (1972).

The agitators were rather upset that the administration just shrugged and said “whatever”. However, the student turnout was good. But that, as it turned out, annoyed them more than anything else.

That is, fundamentally, the movie Deep Throat is boring. Really boring. So after what one student described as an audience watching “a slow tennis match” for a while, the students lost interest and started to chat about other things.

Sports, news, the typical coffee house chatter, even moving around the folding chairs for the event to form groups, so that the movie became mere wallpaper in the background. This made the agitators so annoyed that they stopped the “film” and asked the audience to hush and watch the movie.

This got all the attention it deserved. Many students left before it was over, having more pressing business like doing the laundry or homework.

But, as they seldom do, the agitators didn’t learn their lesson. The following week, they decided to create another stir, this time showing how evil and racist America is by airing “Birth of a Nation.”

Oh, that didn’t work a lot worse. In that case, they neglected the fact that Birth of a Nation is a fundamentally *good* movie. It is entertaining and well acted.

This meant at the climax of the movie, when the Ku Klux Klan had chased down and captured the black rapist, then proceeded to string him up, the audience broke into a cheer and applauded.

This made the agitators so angry that they stopped the movie, and went in front of the audience to berate them for sympathizing with the lynch mob and being racist.

After a minute of this, all it took was one student, yelling “String up the Hippie!”, and the whole audience broke into laughter. This made the radicals so angry that they refused to show the rest of the movie and stomped out in a huff.

This happens pretty much everywhere, although not necessarily condoned by the administration. “Pirates” has become near-legendary among the college set... probably because it is the highest-budget porno ever produced. Oh the things you learn in college.

And look on the bright side: at least it’s somewhat mainstream porno... not “Dial ‘M’ for Midget”. Although I have to question why the directors thought naming the pirate “Stagnetti” was a good idea.

he University of Maryland will offer "Pirates" at the Hoff Theater on campus, complete with an introduction by Planned Parenthood representatives.

Planned Parenthood and porno? A winning combination!

I think I would find my kid a different school.

I would trust that I raised my children right not to go to the movie. I guess your option is fine but every school has some negative type activity that you probably would not agree with. This film is being played on the campus theater much like the latest Jonas Brother film. What are you going to do when a movie theater showing porn in the town your kids want to move to is available? Insist your child not move to that town because I can’t trust your moral set?

Most of the comments here are laughable. Let's say your kid is in pre-med and on their way to dental school at USC or UCLA. What do we do?

Also, you'd think the ADULTS attending college are all lining up for porno. Our son only has time for a movie when I visit and pay.

We run these threads and the responses are all out of perspective. It's amazing how many people here give responses that indicate their kid will probably be first in line.

If your kid is a pot smoking-porno watching-alcoholic-nymphomaniac, maybe you shoud lock them up at home and sign them up for correspondence classes.

Why don’t these institutions review the fact that people PAY for a service. They don’t PAY for the university interpretation reality. Just teach the material and keep your agenda and your opinions for someone who cares.

My point is that what pass for the school’s “values” are obviously so perverted and its priorities are in such disarray that I would be concerned about the education the kid is getting. What ever happened to Great Books? it is no wonder so many of them can’t think straight. I can’t imagine a child of mine going to a movie like that.
