We Always Wondered About Those Eugene Folk

As you may or may not be aware, I went to graduate school at Oregon State University back in the Dark Ages.  OSU was the classic agriculture, and science university, sometimes referred to as Moo U or Cow College, while it was understood that the other major state University, University of Oregon conveniently located 40 miles south, was the hippie dippy humanities institution, where all the excesses of college were played out.  I can see that nothing has changed:

Gay Sex Pundit Paid $24K To Talk Fisting, Gorilla-Suit Fetishes With Students

The notoriously raunchy and popular homosexual sex advice columnist and pundit Dan Savage visited the University of Oregon in mid-October, and more recently it was revealed thanks to a public records request that he was paid $24,000 for his talk, which included discussions with students about the art of fisting and gorilla suit fetishes.

The Register-Guard, the main daily newspaper for the region, reports the “University of Oregon paid nationally syndicated sex-advice columnist Dan Savage $24,000 for speaking at an Oct. 15 event at the UO, according to a copy of the contract the university released this week in response to a public records request.”

 As he flipped through from card to card, he answered questions dealing with the sexual act of fisting to gorilla suit fetishes; the roaring response from the audience was unanimous.” But when asked how to pleasure a woman down under, Savage responded: “F**k if I know!”

But wait, it gets better – and by better we mean worse.

The Register-Guard reports the speech was also partly a launch party for the university’s new smart phone app that teaches students how to have kinky sex.

Did you ever play twister as a kid? Well, toss in sex and smartphones, and you’ve got the University of Oregon’s new SexPositive App, ostensibly developed as a sex health tool. It spins two wheels with words such as “mouth” “finger” and “penis” on one side and “toes” “vagina” vibrator” and “anal play” on the other. Match two words and have at it, basically.

When I was in college, we didn't have smartphones to tell us how to have sex.  Ain't progress grand?  At least I don't pay taxes to Oregon anymore, so it's not on my dime, unlike the University of Maryland, which indulges in similar shenanigans.

And in other great college news, one girl from Arizona State University came to Halloween dressed as a "Naked Human Being".  It has the virtue of being a cheap costume.  She wore high heels though, which totally defeats the statement.
