The 2009 Prom invitation: controversial or satirical?

Please check this out and give it some thought. My opinion is posted below...

Honestly, I have no issues with it. I find it extremely creative which shows the level of education we receive from the institution. I know the school is held to higher than normal standards but there's a lot of other themes that could have been chosen based solely on the times we're in that would be inappropriate. These days students are more aware of things than ever before. I understand that it could be perceived as racy, but come on now, we watch movies more graphic than that and lets face it more than half of the attending body will be over the age of 18. So how bad can it truly be? To me people are forgetting that "lust" is only one (1) of the seven (7) Deadly Sins. I'm pretty sure we've all "sinned" at least once in life. If we as a people didn't sin, how much would we truly need religion? Just giving all some room for thought.
