...of being the ranked the number 1 party school, it would appear. This same adult film company made a film at ASU last year, when they were ranked number 1. This year, that production company, uh, came here (Sorry...) to Bloomington.

Calli Cox, publicist and adult film actress for Shane Enterprises, said she, along with a number of her colleagues visited IU during the first weekend of October in order to "party with students from the No. 1 party school."

And party they did, according to this IDS News account of the events:

Freshman Adam Brown, a resident on the third floor of Teter Wissler, said ... the film actresses were giving certain students oral sex in the hallway.

"I would say at least 25 people were in the hallway," Brown said. "They (the actors) were pretty much messing around with each other, and everybody was watching."

Can you imagine what would happen to student applications if they actually could use this for recruiting potential students? At least among some of the hetero male population, I think there'd be a significant rise (Really, I'm sorry...).

As it is, that story appearing in the student newspaper has spawned an official investigation. And it turns out that something related to the filming (and the resulting student "exploitation") may already have been reported by the resident manager of the dorm where this adult-oriented filming is alleged to have happened:

"There was not a connection at the time of the original incident," [IU spokeswoman Jane] Jankowski said. "Given the events surfacing it makes sense to go back and look at the report on Oct. 3."

Or they could just sit back and wait for the, uh, release of the 'product' in November. (Sorry, couldn't resist that one, either.)

No, I guess I'm not really sorry. Not one little bit. This is whole thing is just too funny. (Hey Joe! *ringing dinner bell*)

Yea for Christina! [hand-blinked via Camworld]

Congratulation to Christina Wodtke on the publication of her first book, Information Architecture: Blueprints for the Web.

Now can someone explain why the Judy Bloom titles have such a prominent placement in relation to Christina's book? (Yea, I know, low sales numbers right now, and this will correct itself to more topical titles as more copies of Christina's book sell.) I just liked the ironic juxtaposition of Christina's book's topic and JB's Blubber -- and really, I just like the sound of that title. Blubber. heh.
