Revelations of a pornographic film shoot in a dormitory at Indiana University is the talk of the campus. The film "Campus Invasion" was made at various locations on campus earlier this month by adult filmmakers from Shane's World, a Web site based in Van Nuys, Calif. The porn actors said they were attracted to IU because it was recently named the nation's No. 1 party school by the Princeton Review. What are your thoughts on this incident? Is IU getting a bad reputation? Should the students or the production company involved be punished?

So, lets get this straight, IU officials can hang their heads high, and have it broadcast thru out the country that you can come to IU and drink, do drugs and party harty..but let a couple of people film LEGAL sexual activity and they get their panties in a wad? Can we say DOUBLE STANDARD??? stupid people really get on my nerves.

Open your mind and your eyes are sure to follow! Logan

The students of IU are adults and should be able to make the decision to appear in something of this nature, but this is not an appropriate thing to be held on campus. The officials did the right thing by kicking them out. I agree that the status of them being the #1 party school is a double standard with this happening, but at the same time it is a college campus that should not have to deal with such a situation. They need to get rid of the corrupt status and then they won't have this problem. They should take this as a lesson learned, make the correction and move on.

amen! it's not like the company just barged in and said, "we're taping." besides, being a former iu student myself, i can tell you crazier stuff happens WITHOUT the film crews.

Geez, it's not like IU came out and said, "Hey, we agree with the 'Princeton Review,' come to our school and PARTY!!!"

You should get your facts straight.

IU was deemed the No. 1 party school by an independent source with no endorsement by the university. And many many many press realeases were issued after that article from IU defending itself as a legitimate institution and NOT a "party school."

As for kicking out the film crew, it is completely within their rights to deny access to a privately owned dormitory. If the film crew didn't have permission to be there from the university - no go. They should have just built a set to LOOK like a dorm room.

Double standard? I suggest you check your facts before getting YOUR "moral" panties in a wad.

I don't believe that this is a very big issue, it occured on Oct. 3 and it is into Nov. now and needs no more attention. I don't believe that this incident will hurt IU image, and I don't think that the students involved should be punished. They will have to live with the thought of it and that is penalty enough for them.

They are adults and this is America. We are free to do anything non-violent and legal that we want to in our privacy. A dorm room, like an apartment or home, is private to us. These students did nothing wrong. If however, there is a contract with the university that forbids this specific activity, then the student who signed that contract needs to answer to a court on if they violated the contract.

Otherwise, leave them alone and let them enjoy their freedoms.

When this popped up on a national blog earlier this morning, my first thought was something like: Why do they get to have all the fun down the road in Bloomington?

After a bit more reflection, my second thought was more like: I wonder how many of those kids took the time to consider just where those Shane's World actresses' body parts had been prior to the halls of an IU dorm? Ewwwwww.

Of course, the whole thing is rather humorous, and will immediately polarize into two opposing camps, one of which we have far too much of (IMHO) in good old Indiana.

And, then, my last thought was: This Shane's World thing seems popular. I wonder if I can pick up the traveling condom concession as they tour the country? Hmmm...

With all the underage drinking and narcotics use at I.U., why is anyone worried about a porno movie?

This sort of thing would never happen at Purdue. What is going on in Bloomington?

I think as long as they were all consenting adults, who cares. Why not let them make there own decisions.
