Maybe. (http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D904AFH80&show_article=1)

I first heard about this and thought...that is one sick bitch. Now it may be a hoax, it may not, the university may be wrapping itself in self-righteous indignation because of the bad publicity but it really happened, who knows.

Even NARAL is saying this is "not constructive."

It could be, since this is "performance art," the entire brouhaha is part of her "art." In any event, I think this is a pretty drastic way to get an A in an art class.

GD thread (http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=464301) She was faking, but it's pretty dumb. Personally I'm not outraged though I understand why other people are. It just strikes me as more of the new imperial clothing that comprises so much of modern art.
