PC-Emerson-U?


There was a great movie from the 90's on TV late last night called PCU. Starring Entourage's Jeremy Piven, it's about life on a politically correct college campus. Frats have been forbidden, and there are constant protests by idiotic organizations (Piven's character, our hero, calls them "cause-heads" because they jump from cause to cause). There are the womynists, hippies, afro-centrists or black militants, etc.

This film was released about twelve years ago and may have been seen as a satire or parody then. Today, it's an understatement. When the ultra-PC college president threatened Piven's crew with a "sensitivity awareness week" punishment, I had to laugh.
