Most Extreme University Course EVER – What Is Yours?

To mark the release of the smash hit horror film The Rite, starring Oscar Winner Anthony Hopkins, which follows a skeptical preist who joins an exorcism school. The film inspired by true events and released this week nationwide has intrigued TNC to thinking about other such extreme courses out there. So we are launching our very own search for the most ‘Extreme University Course of ALL TIME‘.

What courses are out there that make you think ‘Really, a whole course on The Science of Harry Potter?’ These should be Mickey Mouse courses on acid:

Take for example Cyberporn and Society at the State University of New York at Buffalo

Lecturer: Are you looking at porn during class time?
Student: Yes, sir.
Lecturer: Then you get an A+.
Student: Yay!
Lecturer: Can you please put your pants back on?
Student: Ziiiiiip.

What are your most extreme courses email EXTREME@thenewcurrent.com. You can also join the Facebook Group “What Do You Believe”.

Listings: Shogun Audio @ Cable – Saturday 19th Feb 2011

Cable, one of London’s newest and hottest clubs, is hosting an incredible night tomorrow. See below for details, and I hope to see some of you there!

Two hours as standard from Friction promises the usual roadblock in room 1 as the main man gets ready to dig deep for this one whilst heavily supported by Alix Perez and what’s sure to be a disgusting session from Break & SpectraSoul. Then it’s a shot in the arm for those who know and a history lesson for the younger attendees as Shogun plays host to a massive three-man classic Virus set from luminaries Optical, Fierce and Matrix. Finally rounding off room 1 are the undoubted talents of Icicle and Rockwell.

As Always Room 2 will offer a little respite with a jungle set from Ray Keith and alternative sets from Phaeleh, Rockwell and Reference.
