movie magic

So they are filming a movie on our campus. I think the popular consensus it that it is a movie called Elizabethtown starring Orlando Bloom (so fucking hot in a dirty gypsy kind of way that it makes me want to take up stalking as my full time occupation) and Kirsten Dunst. There were various false sightings of celebrities (somebody swore they saw Kirsten Dunst, but it was just some random blonde chick sitting in a director's chair), and today I did notice some seriously unusual Hollywood-type shit. They were filming in our library, quad area and there were tons of people hanging about. First, all the cast and crew look and dress like carnies. Now I'm not sure what they pay these people to be prop masters and light technicians and the like, but frankly it can't be much because I've seen homeless people with a better flair for fashion than some of these mo-fos. Second, they clearly are hanging on to some 1960s love-in thing because I went to get a water in the library, and there were all these people sitting in a circle, gaping at some guy playing really bad acoustic guitar. Third, all of the women extras had HUGE TITS!!! There were tons of really skinny women with big-ass boobies (and if you know me, you know it ain't the jealousy talking cause I got no issues with boob size)...there were more D-cups floating around than Hooters on a Friday night. So my classmate and I starting trying to figure out what exactly they were filming, and here is what we (well actually me, she just nodded mostly)thought:
A. They are filming a television pilot about strippers who decide to go back to college. Basically the premise is that the six-foot law recently established in Jefferson County really affected their abilities to earn a decent wage so they decide to go to school to either become pediatricians or to learn enough about their political rights so they can fight the man to repeal lap-dance laws. Much hilarity will ensue when at various points in the show the girls start getting naked for no reason whatsoever.
B. They are clearly filming the University of Louisville version of "Girls Gone Wild." Since this is Kentucky it will have a really down home feel, replete with fried chicken grease rub-downs and constant sexual references to biscuits and gravy.
C. They are filming a national commercial about the University of Louisville to gain more student interest. To gain that interest, particularly for male matriculators, they are showcasing the considerable assets of the student body. And let me make this clear...they were gravity-defying considerable assets.
I kind of like version B. Maybe Snoop Dog will make an appearance.
