| CMU Parade Controversy Over Naked Woman, Dressed As Pope | |
| 2013-05-01 | |
| [PITTSBURGH.CBSLOCAL] Students at Carnegie Mellon say it's freedom of expression, but the Catholic Diocese of Pittsburgh calls it inappropriate and disrespectful. At an annual art school parade, a female student dressed up as the pope, and was naked from the waist down while she passed out condoms. Even more, witnesses say the woman had shaved her pubic hair in the shape of a cross. The Diocese has asked CMU to take action. "I think we all know that when we're growing up we do stupid things but to cross over the line in this instance shouldn't happen with anybody," Bishop David Zubik said. CMU issued a statement, saying "We are continuing our review of the incident. If our community standards or laws were violated, we will take appropriate action."

| #11 what happens when several militant altar boys beat the snot out of said "woman" shave her head and drag her behind a car down the main avenue of the university. Think she'd do it again next year? |

#10 Well she'll have a lot of witnesses... Dunno. Seen some of these skanks that I couldn't stand to look at for more than a fraction of a second. |

#9 At an annual art school parade... Well, there's your problem. You know what most "art" students should learn while they're in school? The proper method of assembling a fast food order. |

| #8 Yes, Bright Pebbles but if this ever goes to court, I imagine the identification of the defendent will take an interesting turn. |

| #6 So what would happen if they did it in blackface? Remember, as long as its PC bigotry, its OK. |

| #4 OK. If she wants to be really "edgy", next time have her shave her pubes in the shape of a crescent (and if there's room, a star). Dress up like a mullah or imam. Have her pass out bacon. See how long it takes for CMU to shut her down for being insensitive. |

| #3 "Even more, eye witnesses say the woman had shaved her pubic hair in the shape of a cross." .... "We are continuing our review of the incident. If our community standards or laws were violated, we will take appropriate action." Carnegie Mellon University... IF ? Frankly CMU, did your College of Art review and endorse the participation of this girl-child before the parade? If so, your college has no standards of decency. |

| #2 Doesn't being naked imply that you are not dressed? |

| #1 Hey as long as she wasn't dressed as a mullah... |
