In 1976 the Scarfolk Board of Education was faced with a problem: Children weren't educated enough to be able to learn anything, thus benefit from education.
Teenagers had lost all interest in schooling and spent their time indulging themselves in popular teenybopper pop groups such as The Wittgenstein Rollers and Arnold & the Schoenbergs.
To counter this apathy, the Board of Education decided to take advantage of the recent relaxing of film censorship and the rise of sexploitation.
From September 1976 they delivered the school curriculum via a series of feature-length pornographic films. In particular they wanted to enliven maths and English topics and to "put some lead back in the pencil" of pedagogy, as the minister for education, Tom Stiph, put it.
School attendance rose by 42% in less than six months, as did the birth rate.
Below are three of the long-lost maths and English, so-called 'Porn-Ed' films, as certified by the BBFC (British Board of Film Censorship).
Other films included:
"Debbie Does Differential Geometry" (1976)
"Lady Pythagoras' Love Triangle" (1977)
"HomoPhone Sex Operators" (1977)
"Vital Statistics and Alge-bra Overflows" (1977)
"Homonympho Grown-up Groans" (1978)
"Homonympho 2: Whole Holes Meet Man Meat" (1979)

According to a sci-fi movie (the Meaning of Life) by the Monty Python's Rebel Bicycle Club collective, in 1983,
ReplyDeleteschoolar will be so bored by this educational trend that they will read straight poetry during lessons.
Quite hard for the Stiph theory.
I don't think that in Scarfolk, the MPRBCC could have the opportunity to play their movie, even during a government shutdown.
The spy vehicles are always rolling there, for the benefit of everyone.
Arnold & the Schoenbergs were one of my fave bands, especially for their 'Degeneremixes' album.

Late to the party again (right, when wasn't I?), but I was reminded of a band I played in back in the college days, "Rene and the Coordinates."
