College Radio DJs Offer Penis Snapchats For Fundraiser

Two college DJs from San Luis Obispo went the extra mile in trying to raise some funds for their radio station—by offering "sexy Snapchats" of their penises and buttholes in return for cash donations.
California Polytechnic State University juniors Logan Cooper and Sean Martinez, who are hosts of KCPR's aptly titled sex-themed show, "Getting It In," posted their generous offering to Facebook back in April, and it stayed up for a month before school officials found out. (The post has since been taken down.) According to Mustang News, the two wrote:
For only $20 dollars, you can have a week of sexy snapchats featuring the hosts of Getting It In! If you’ve ever been curious if which one of us has a birthmark on our penis or which one of us has a tighter butthole, this is your chance to find out!
It's not clear how much money was raised (which we're curious about), but the school is definitely distancing itself from the situation. School officials asked the DJs to step down from their show.
"This fundraiser activity was organized and carried out without authorization from faculty and staff in the department," the university's media relations director Matt Lazier told CalCoastNews. "As well, university administration is investigating the matter to determine if any student conduct violations may have occurred."
