Holy Sheet: New to the syllabus

I just finished reading an article in Time Magazine that discussed the most popular websites for college-aged students. With no surprise it is social network websites like Facebook and MySpace. Slipping all the way to number four is puerno sites.

You might wonder how I stumbled across such an article, but funny thing is, it was actually by looking at Facebook. I was checking some recent wall posts on a friends wall and came across one that said, “red tube is the most innovative website since Wikipedia. Its unique vision provides insight into some of the more dynamic areas of the porn industry,” Time Magazine. After seeing this, I had to find the article in Time it came from. Well, after a hearty search I came up empty finding this quote in an article but it did lead me to statistics of most popular websites, which I thought was interesting.

While I searched Time I came across an article about porn that really interested me. It was about porn in the classroom. Right now I am taking a film class but the films they talked about in this article are by no means on my syllabus. The article was all about colleges and universities around the country who are having classes about pornographic films. I thought to myself, wow, if only I had discovered such classes more than two months before I graduate. Then I thought, Lyndon State is expanding the film study program, maybe it will include such flicks as Debbie does Dallas or Wet Latinas IV. Probably not.

Anyway, although I couldn’t find a source to back up the original statement about Redtube, I was quite satisfied with what I did uncover. Maybe I will go to grad school after all, get my masters in the puern industry. Wouldn’t that be something.
