Ordinarily, the release of an adult video such as College Invasion 4 would only arouse the attention of a select few; this time, however, many are wondering if rumours of the video being shot near campus are true.

“Prior to advertising I contacted [the production company] and verified it. It’s definitely true — it was filmed near campus,” explained Ian Dunlop, general manager of Sin City Adult Superstore.

“You really can’t tell it’s in London,” he noted of the film, adding the whole event was initially in good fun but has now taken a sour turn for the participants in the house.

“The only bad thing is other people’s moral issues,” Dunlop remarked.

The Gazette visited the house where the video was filmed and although the occupants who participated in the filming last year did not wish to comment, a roommate speaking on the condition of anonymity said his fellow roommates regret taking part in the video.

According to this individual, the participants in the video have recently grown increasingly nervous after a local TV news program ran a story about the house’s past and hinted that the university may investigate the matter further.

Christine Roulston, media relations officer with Western’s department of communication and public affairs, denied any investigation is underway.

“There’s no truth to the New PL story,” she said, though she was quick to distance the university from the making of the video. “The university has no involvement with the production of the film.”

Despite the controversy, Dunlop mentioned sales for the video have been good.

“[College Invasion 4] has been really popular; we’ve already sold out at some locations.”
