A proud day for my alma mater

O'Reilly just aired a piece about student TV sex scandals at my alma mater (hat tip to mom and dad wookie who called to let me know about the piece and asked if that's what all the money they spent on my education went to. Haha very funny)

La Jolla, CA - The University of California San Diego is investigating whether a campus television station's broadcast of a student performing sexual acts violated federal and university regulations.

The 90-minute show, "Koala TV," which has aired three times this month, contains a 10-minute segment showing UCSD senior Steve York performing sexual acts with an unidentified woman.

The show is a spinoff of The Koala, a satirical magazine distributed on campus that has printed irreverent and controversial material. It has featured graphic photos and illustrations of lewd sexual behavior, and poked fun at Asians, blacks, Jews, Mormons, gays and lesbians.
Now more often than not The Koala is the type of publication that would be considered bathroom reading do to a preponderance of fart, sex, and drinking jokes and therefore, generally harmless, and they have had some brighter moments. This, however is way over the top.

Bill could barely get out the words "tax payers money" without laughing in the face of the star of the sex film. The kid laughs and smiles, thinks it's a big hoot, but (if the chancellor has grown some cajones since I graduated) he's about to get all the funding pulled for SRTV, or some sort of censors for the show. UCSD TV used to also broadcast on the local cable carriers as well (for all the off campus students). I'm sure there's a world of hurt waiting to be unleashed over this one.

There'd better be or I want all the $0 dollars I've donated as an alumni back.

I tell you... kids these days...

Give them a video camera and they think they're Paris Hilton.
