"Internet Resistance" is PORN



Ever thought that porn could actually become a subject of study at a university? Well, strange but true. The Carnegie Mellon University's school of art is now offering a course called Internet Resistance.
According to a report published in The Times of India, the students enrolled under the course will be required to create a popular meme, making money online in a novel way. An A for those who can demonstrate that their work sexually managed to arouse someone and a C for those if the genre already existed. The students, thus, will be creating a new fetish or genre of porn.

The report quoted Paolo Pedercini, the person who will be teaching the course, telling, "Online pornography has been a strong driver for the diffusion of the Internet and, at the same time, a primary source of moral panic when it comes to censorship and network policing. But more importantly, the Internet enabled a previously unseen diversification of genres and attitudes towards the representation of sex."
 
It further goes on to establish a relation between the course and Rule 34 of the Internet, which the Urban Dictionary defines as, "If it exists, there is porn of it" and its corollary, Rule 35, which states, "If there is no porn of it, it will be made."
