It was bound to happen sooner or later, wasn't it?

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.

The Spice Digital Network, a subsidiary of Playboy Enterprises Inc., used the Joe Kelly baseball field for two days in early March to shoot a racy promotional video that showed women and men in provocative attire.

``It's what I would call easy money,'' Pierce President Tom Oliver said Thursday, adding that he had clearance from the Los Angeles Community College District. [full story]

Kind of an interesting twist. Usually it's the poor struggling student trying to find a way to pay the rent. Now it's the struggling college general fund...
