Remember yesterday’s report about Natalie Portman dropping in on a Columbia University class to guest teach? Turns out professor Stuart Gottlieb and his Terrorism and Counterterrorism class was merely part of an “underground” publicty tour for her upcoming V For Vendetta orchestrated by MTU-U, MTV’s campus network.

Thankfully, there’s a student in attendance with a blog.

It turns out that Ms. Portman’s cameo in Professor Stuart Gottlieb’s Terrorism and Counterterrorism class was part of a MTV-U promotion for her latest flick, V for Vendetta, in which her character mounts a revolutionary campaign against a totalitarian government and generally blows shit up.

A sampling of the truths Ms. Portman imparted in the 20-minute Q&A session following a somber Frontline documentary on Al Qaeda, Guantanamo and the CIA’s counterterrorism tactics:

- “My immediate reaction is that torture is wrong.”

- “I don’t think it’s right to take down the Twin Towers.”

- “Censorship is bad.”

In other news, the Bwog suspects Ms. Portman and Prezbo share the same hair stylist. Her hair. never. moved.

Glad we’re reinforcing such commercial marketing values among our undergrad population. We hope Jonathan Antin has time in his schedule to lecture a Art History class on the importance of bangs in the 17th century Baroque era.
