...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.

Yes, at the University of Maryland’s Hoff Theatre (among other places), anybody over 18 can watch pr0n. They can also vote and sign up to defend our country. They just can’t have a beer (under 21) or smoke in a bar (regardless of age) in Maryland.
What’s wrong with this effing picture???
That’s the thing about pr0n: unless you’re easily excitable, the stuff can turn out to be quite boring, with stupid plots (when they even bother with those).
“Sex is a topic which should be discussed in the open. It is no longer taboo”
And obviously this approach has worked so well in minimizing rapes, minimizing objectification of women (because men are almost never the objects of sex obsession as in these media), and the general progression of society.
The inconsistent recognition that too many in college are not mature enough for any of the aforementioned subjects.
