Porn Pays Tuition

Well, these kids sure take their directives to heart... German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder recently challenged students to "use their initiative" to pay their education fees.

In protest against underfunding, a group of German students have decided to make their own porn movie.

The money raised by the film will be used to help subsidise the fees of those who can't otherwise finance a university education.

Ethics student Mara Schneider, 22 from Leipzig, plays Chantal in the film she made with her 27-year-old boyfriend Rene.

She says it is a "passionate demonstration" against education reforms and will go on sale in Leipzig next week.

Students have led month-long protests, including naked demonstrations and office sit-ins, against the Chancellor's new reforms which include the introduction of tuition fees, the creation of elite universities and budget cuts.

I'll bet next time Mr. Chancellor will think twice about asking his students to 'get creative'! At least you know they've been studying their economics...
