Is This Taxpayer-Funded University The Academic Porn Capital Of The World?

For the second consecutive year, the University of California, Santa Barbara is making a strong case that it is the academic porn capital of America, if not the world.

This week, the taxpayer-funded school featured the on-campus premiere of “Marriage 2.0,” an NC-17-rated “indie adult film” featuring porn actors having oodles of hot, steamy sex.

Constance Penley, a UCSB film studies professor, showed the smut flick on Tuesday in her class entitled “Topics in Film and Popular Culture: Pornography.”

The distributor of “Marriage 2.0″ is Adam & Eve, seller of products such as the “Foxxxy Fanny vibrating plug” ($49.95) and “sex & mischief bondage tape” ($10.95).

“Marriage 2.0″ “combines sexual performances from adult stars with a compelling story delving into the depths of human relationships and emotions,” according to a press release which Fine Ass Marketing sent to The Daily Caller.

The film was named “Movie of the Year” at this year’s Feminist Porn Awards as well.

Also, there’s such a thing as the Feminist Porn Awards.

“My class looks at the history of pornography, both as a film and its place in popular culture, as well as a genre and an industry,” Penley, the professor, said. “Because of this, I am delighted that my students will have the chance to see ‘Marriage 2.0′ and appreciate its radicalness in that history.”
