CAMBRIDGE—A new course introduced this semester from the Visual and Environmental Studies Department is reportedly raising some eyebrows, as well as other unnamed body parts. 

VES 169, “Penetrating the Intersection of Bodily and Visual Media,” aroused major interest during shopping week. The class was completely full on Friday, and has the longest waitlist around, according to sources.

“Over 200 students lotteried for the course,” said professor Mona Rider, “but that’s just too big for me. Lectures are held in Emerson, so I capped enrollment at 50, but still, it’s a tight fit, especially for such a hard course. Assuming a few students pull out over the next few weeks, though, size shouldn’t be an issue.”

In its online description, the class claims to “seek to redefine the interaction of human bodies as an art form,” but without any previous Q scores, the subject of the course remains mysterious. Department Chair Robb Moss was unavailable for comment, and when asked to shed light on the course content, Rider said only, “There are certainly some holes to fill in the syllabus, but we are confident that this class will leave students satisfied and smiling.”

At the conclusion of Monday’s session, however, Katie Wallers ‘20 revealed to Satire V the true nature of the class.

“It’s porn, guys,” reported Wallers. “It's just watching porn.”
