SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Hundreds of students at the University of California Davis will take a break from their studies to watch some school-sanctioned pornography.
Organizers told TV station KCRA that students can watch "Pirates II: Stagnetti's Revenge" for free Thursday night.
"To me, it's a joke," one UC Davis student said.
"When I heard about it I was kind of shocked, but not too shocked," said UC Davis student Katie Gross.
The film is part of an educational effort by the school's Entertainment Council.
"It is supposed to be a light-hearted event," said Golda Criddle, with the Entertainment Council.
She said it's an educational tool, albeit a strange one.
"We will have a speaker that will talk about porn fantasy issues before the screening," Criddle said.
Most students KCRA reporters spoke to shyly admitted they were curious, while others said they had already seen it.
The Entertainment Council did not advertise on flyers. They said they didn't need to for this kind of film and already more than 500 people sent an RSVP stating that they are coming via Facebook, yet the theater only seats 440.
