College newspaper shocks with racy cover photo

While students over at USC are getting busy on rooftops, further south, University of Northern Florida students are freaking out about a controversial cover photo for Spinnaker, the school's newspaper. The photo, which shows a woman in a bra receiving simulated oral sex from a fully clothed man, illustrates the cover story about how easily HPV is contracted from unprotected oral sex.
The complaint from students is that the photo is distasteful and used only for shock-value, thus distracting from the story's serious message. University President John Delaney is reporting that it's mainly women who have come to him with such complaints, which, as a woman, I find to be somewhat odd. What's upsetting about shedding light on a STI that's mostly an issue for women and depicting an act that is still something of a sexual taboo in our society? If women are upset about this, can you imagine if they had used a picture of a woman simulating oral sex on a man? Feminists from all over the world would be bumrushing Northern Florida as we speak!

she's grabbing his head, not his throat. how does the title relate to the photo? at the same time, though, i can't come up with a more appropriate image for the story...
She looks to be around 3 feet tall.
Call it what you want, but "distasteful" would be the last word I'd use to describe what's simulated there. ;)
Delicious?(!)
just another example of trying to cast fear + devilry upon women's bodies. very very lame.
He needs to be using his hands, what the heck is he doing? Unless of course he's using them on himself, then I guess it's OK.
Agreed. And is she balancing on a stool? As a woman I protest this photo, simply because it makes no sense.
but it has an important point!
Like that fatfuck is gonna get a woman like that.
The man kinda looks like a gorilla with his posture. Use the hands man!
