You get one demerit, Willie, on account of I can't find the URL for this Maxim magazine anywhere in this article.

Either that or I've gone blind.

Maybe those two "womyn" would feel better if he was looking at a picture of this?

I think it would be fun to find these offended girls place of residence and decorate the surroundings with Maxxim covers.

....with UNLV Assistant Vice President for Diversity Ann Casados-Mueller Wednesday afternoon about the incident. Walton says Casados-Mueller told him Maxim was "soft porn" and that reading it on campus could be considered sexual harassment.

According to Ann, Maxim is now considered offensive, and anyone who has it in their possession can be sued. Does that mean that she is formally setting as policy for the university that ALL examples of porn, soft or otherwise, are no longer permitted on campus? After all, how will a student or professor know what constitutes a violation, without her strong guidance in the form of a written policy?

Well, then Playboy is now gone from the campus library. But wait! What about beer advertizing? How about car advertizing? Will cable TV be permitted on campus? This is Vegas, after all, and who knows what debauchery might exist beyond the campus boundaries that might *offend* someone.

College campuses without porn. Whatta concept. The only slippery slope I see here is on her pointy head.

I loved MAxim when it first came out. I have had a subscription for nearly three years now. However, I will probably not renew it. The mag has gone downhill over the past two years. When I first started reading it, I loved it because it was a "mens magazine" with very few fashion adds. now, there are almost a dozen before the table of contents, just like GQ and Esquire.

Secondly, the articles have gotten unoriginal. Its the same "Sex advice" re-packaged as something "fresh", when its all widely known things or just general stupidity. How long can they keep printing "Sex columns" that say the same thing every month. Borring!

Also, their stupid "hair color" products and commercials irriate the hell out of me. If some freak of a girl tried to lick my hair.....

They have done many, many very funny things(dotcom-opoly, to mention a good one), but they have played out all the jokes that their brand of humor is made up of.

It was great while it lasted. The writers and editors let success go to their heads.

No, no, I think you're mistaken this time. I think a good conservative lawyer, probably from FIRE, is just the prescription for this overly constipated bereaucrat. I wonder if he might actually be able to get some sort of injunction against these maroons, given that they have explicitly threatened to abuse their internal process for the explicit purpose of harassing and inconveniencing the student.

Two fellow students, both women, complained to their professor, Jean Whitney, that they were offended and distracted by the image.

Tempting, but I'm not going there.
