..…. Some students say health club showing pornography
Some college students in Utah County are calling some music videos pornographic, and they are trying to get a health club to take them off its screen….
And I love one of their requests to the management:
Install blinds on the aerobics room to block the dancing, which is very provocative.
Amazing. Simply amazing.
Enjoy,

Is your gym too sexy? BYU students think so... Post #2 (permalink)
The thing is, BYU is a big university from what I know of it, and a school of its size and stature should have its own gym. Marshall is the second biggest school in WV besides WVU, and it has two! If they're that bothered, they need to go to the school gym which I'm sure is set up to accomidate to Mormon beliefs.

I hadn't read the entire article - the fact they're bitching abut a gold's gym is pretty sad.. don't like it - don't go...
BYU i thought had a pretty decent athletic program -they must have a gym or two on campus..

Orem, Provo groups demanding changes at 2 gyms
By Jacob Hancock
Deseret Morning News
PROVO — String bikinis, leather bras and skin.
It's all part of the video programming Gold's Gym offers its Utah County members, but nearly a thousand local community members — led by five student-run anti-pornography organizations — want to see the gym's Provo and Orem sports clubs cleaned up.
After submitting a lengthy public petition, presidents of various clubs from Brigham Young University, Utah Valley State College and the community voiced strong concerns to the gyms' director of operations, Kirk Livingstone, in a two-hour meeting Wednesday night.
They are demanding that the gyms get rid of R-rated or sexually explicit PG-13 movies and install blinds on aerobic room windows to block views of provocative dancing.
Some of the club's rap videos like "Shake Your Money Maker" were dubbed pornographic, and they said the lyrics were just as offending.
"I could read you some of the lyrics from these videos (played at the gyms) but it would be too embarrassing for both of us," said Jesse Yaffe, 30, a spokesman for the groups.
Some group members who were hoping for immediate results were discouraged when no definite agreements were reached, but Livingstone said he needed time to consider the complaints.
"We're committed to doing what's right for the community and our members," he said after the meeting. "I can't tell the chances of us changing but I will say we are not unwilling to change the programming."
Livingstone ruled out the request to install blinds but said he would seriously look into a way of altering the kind of music that is played.
While the gym franchise considers the issues, critics said the meeting was just a start in their drive.
According to Yaffe, the groups are ready to protest at the Provo and Orem gyms every Saturday until the TV programming is changed. "One hundred years if it takes that long," Yaffe said.
the supreme court couldn't define pornography -nice to see that the students of BYU are able to

A long time ago on MTV's Real World: New Orleans, this girl from BYU got expelled because while being on the show she lived in the same building as boys!

I really have no problem with honor codes - people should know what they are getting into when they sign them - going to BYU is a choice - ok maybe not totally for some but it's still a choice... and when you make that choice they abide by the rules.. Expel her - if it violates thehonor code she should have known better
it's when other people try to push their religious values onto someone else that I draw the line...

I thoroughly appreciate the showing of music video channels in my gym... watching Beyonce and J-Lo leap about in their hotpants guilts me into working harder what's inspiring about footage where everyone's in baggy swearshirts?
