Porn film screening causes little stir at CMU

Post Gazette: "Don't expect heavy breathing or shady-looking patrons slumped furtively in their theater seats.
It's true, 'The New Devil in Miss Jones' is hard-core pornography. But several hundred students expected to settle into soft green seats in a Carnegie Mellon University auditorium April 26 are a different kind of audience, likely to snack on popcorn, laugh and applaud as they witness a controversial expression of modern culture."

I haven't been to one of these screenings, and I'm not sure I will attend. It's totally fine with me if people watch porn, but it just seems a little odd to watch it with a room full of other college kids. I suppose if you go into it with a very lighthearted attitude, as the article suggests CMU students do, it could be a good time, but it just seems very peculiar and sort of strange to me.

On the other hand, it is good to know that we are in a very open-minded environment that supports the students, rather than trying to shut them down through bribery or threats.
