The University of Maryland, who I know nothing about for reasons mostly due to the fact that I'm Australian and have no desire to ever visit the USA, have won my respect for attempting to curb students boozing it up until the wee hours of the morning by screening a full length porno flick. Unfortunately, the screening has been cancelled after government dweebs threatened to pull the uni's funding.

Apparently it's not the done thing over in the USA to allow adults to watch pornography together. One is curious to know how many of those government officials who are crying foul over this have pictures of boobies on their computers and a Playboy under their bed? My money is on a significant proportion.

Anyway, the movie they were going to screen, Pirates II: Stagnetti's Revenge, actually does have a plotline and if you took out the sex scenes (or at least the graphic penetration ones) it would make a passable C-grade movie. I'm guessing anyway, I haven't seen it. But I did see the first one. How could I not? It was called Pirates!

What's the big deal anyway? They're all adults who can choose whether or not they feel it's appropriate for them to watch it.

If only my uni had such great motivational tactics!
