University of Chicago Student Sets Up Casual Sex Website

Chicago Breaking News -  A petite brunette looking to have a little more than a coffee with a guy. An awkward nerd looking for bookish girl. A college guy looking for a cute girl to take a study break in the stacks.
These are just a few of the posts from a new Chicago site that connects people looking for a no-strings attached hookup.
The site - UChicago Hookups – is poised to help singles ready to mingle. But there's a catch: You have to be a student at the University of Chicago or its Booth School of Business.
In what reads like the casual encounters section on Craigslist, only students with a school email account can post and respond to fellow students looking online for casual sex, a makeout session or—in at least one case—a cuddle buddy. So far, the site claims more than 200 registered users.
"We're trying to change the ages-old stereotype that UChicago students are severely sexually deprived. With that in mind, if you're looking for 'where fun comes to die,' you've come to the wrong place," according to the site created by a group of undergrads. Instead, the site's tagline is "where fun comes to thrive."
First of all, no idea why I picked this video to post, I just figured it was kind of relevant cuz they were prank calling hookers on Craigslist, just like people will inevitably prank call the hookers on this sex site.  Second, the U of C student who created this website needs to quit his fucking bitching and shut the fuck up.  The University of Chicago isn't where fun goes to die.  North Central College is.  Everyone knows that. 
Anyways, I don't know if this idea has disaster or genius written on it.  On one hand the U of C administration has got to be pitching an absolute shit fit and looking for some reason to kick this kid out for something.  The website could also be a huge flop.  Even funnier, he could be indicted for running a prostitution ring. On the other hand, this kid could go down as college's biggest pimp for finding some bullshit technicality in prostitution laws, cuz that's all it really is - prostitution.  It may spread to other campuses (along with all the STDs it will be responsible for) which could make this kid millions.    
This kid's got me stumped.  Any thoughts?  I mean I'd take getting kicked out of school or getting brought up on charges of running a prostitution ring for the potential of making millions of dollars.  But that's just me because I'm a whore for publicity and a whore for money.  


UPDATE:  Got my first random email today from someone who works for a media outlet who covered the story.  Check out the link below to view the actual news story on "U. of Chicago Hook-Ups"
