Iowa Wonder What The Hell's Up With That

I haven't intentionally picked on Iowa recently.  They did most of the work themselves, what with their corn promoting and anti-gay activities of late.  Now I'm throwing them in here again, but for something the exact opposite of what I expected.  My comments are included.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — University of Iowa administrators won't bar the student-run campus movie theater from showing a pornographic movie this year. [This was my WTH moment.  I had to read it three times before I was satisfied.]

"Disco Dolls in Hot Skin" is scheduled to run Friday and Saturday at the Bijou Theater in the Iowa Memorial Union. Typically, no one under age 18 is admitted. [Typically?]

Last year, a student services administrator barred the showing, saying the move wasn't appropriate for a public facility at a public institution. [Ah, that sounds more like the Iowa I know.  I feel warm and comforted, all is right with the world.]

This year, though, the university says it is recognizing the right of the student group to show the film as well as the right of people to watch it. [Nice try, you almost had me.  Now who are you and what have you done with the Iowa I know?]

After their Maybe they're just trying to get a popcorn crop promoted.  Who knows with these folks.
