OH NO!!! The Children!!!!

So what? It's pretty funny if you ask me. ^_^

I hope no one experiences post dramatic stress

What a shame, now all those children won't learn... all that educational stuff, that's... uh, in Star Wars.

I grew up in P.G. County public schools. there are much, much more traumatizing things going on there.

When do HUMP tickets go on sale?

I don't know, you can't even PRETEND star wars is learning material.

@6 What does it matter? Teachers always get behind in grading papers, and they need something to distract the students so they don't start smoking crack and shivving each other.

At least it was a DVD and not an actual student demonstration.

Star Wars or porn, eh? Well, I guess if you're obsessed with one, you might as well resign yourself to the other . . .

Hehe. I used to proctor a university computer lab in the mid-90's, full of Windows 95 machines with Internet access but no login. (Hard to imagine today, isn't it?) Not surprisingly, absolute shitloads of porn surfing went on, especially on the machines in the back row.

Unfortunately, there was also a computer skills class for local junior high kids that came in and used the machines on the weekends. The guy teaching the class worked one machine hooked up to a projector. One day, while clicking around on the class, he accidentally opened up Explorer, and some previous used had set it the home page to some porn site that promptly sent his machine into Porn Popup Window Hell and left the kids howling in shock and/or laughter as they were bombarded with a smorgasbord of gynecology.

These days, the teacher would probably have been fired or sued or something.

* "had set the home page" and "while clicking around on the machine during class". Damn, I need to proofread.

@9

HA! Love it.

O Carollani, what a great news link from rural Louisiana. Fave quote - imagine a bayou accent: "There was even one student who grabbed a teacher in the butt and nothing was done."

OR Matt,

It's actually pretty common to use Star Wars in English classes. I took an AP world lit class in high school where we read gilgamesh and a few other ancient myths, then read the the hero with a thousand faces and watched the power of myth along with star wars.

It's nothing they haven't seen before.

Token: And when the woman has four penises in her at the same time, then stands over the men and pees on them, is that part of being in love, too? Five midgets, spanking a man covered in thousand island dressing... is that making love?
Mr. Black: Jesus, what kind of porno was that?
Mr. Brofloski: It was Backdoor Sluts 9.

@13: IN the butt!

Wow, that's pretty odd.

Usually, you have to scroll over the second "S" in "Star Wars" on the Special Features Menu, right click your mouse, then press the Up, Up, Down, Up arrow keys to see the porn "easter egg" on that DVD...

Yet another example of life imitating Porky's IV: The Porkening.

Andrew @ 15:

Fifth graders? not so much learning about the hero myth going on there. If it were high schoolers I *might* buy that excuse but not for 5th graders.

it used to be that vhs dub houses made their money on porn while giving lip service to mainstream duplication. what with humans routing the signals on keypads, occasionally accidents happened where signals were crossed and porn ended up on other videos which were only spot checked. Maybe this happens with dvds. or someone wanted to wank off to a life size screen and left the dvd in while cleaning up.

I read this as "The teacher immediately ejaculated "

Oops. Damned technology.

@17 ROFFEL!

It wasn't necessarily that they were seeing the movie for academic purposes. It might have been something they show during lunchtime or whatever.

In my junior high (Jane Addams Junior High School in Lake City, RIP) they occasionally showed us movies in the auditorium during lunch. They'd show a small part of the movie each day so it would last for the whole week.

I remember one was "Count Zorba the Vampire" (or was it Zorga?), which to my 1970s kid eyes seemed kind of bloody and presumably would not have been approved of by my mom. Which made it great.
