So a bunch of people have their panties in a bunch because Tom Oliver, the President of Pierce College, allowed (an accepted payment for) a promotional photoshoot to take place on their campus. What I find amusing about the whole thing is that Mr. Oliver likens the shoot to “photography” similar to such that one would find in an art class. He says, supposedly there was no “pornography,” only “photography.”
COME ON! Call a spade a spade! It was a “photography” session promoting something “pornographic!” Probably not a good idea to say that it was “easy money,” either.
