Lisa McElroy, a professor at Thomas R. Kline School of Law at Drexel University, is in some hot water after sending her entire class an email with the link for a video titled “She Loves Her Anal Beads.”

McElroy, a Harvard Law graduate, has been placed on leave pending an investigation into the matter. One of the deans has since taken over her teaching responsibilities.

Poor Lisa. One minute she’s harmlessly flicking more bean than a Mexican chef with Parkinson’s, and the next she’s helplessly watching her career flash before her eyes due to one click of the “send” button.

If you’re going to spit shine the diamond box, you better be all in. You can’t casually pop back and forth from anal bead videos to emailing “interesting” articles about writing briefs. This is the age old mistake of mixing business with pleasure. Always play it safe, bang it out, and be overwhelmed with guilt afterwards like the rest of us.

But what do I know? Maybe law gets her engine going. I imagine she doesn’t jump right into anal beads. And what is there to investigate? It doesn’t seem like she’s defaulting to the classic “I got hacked” strategy that many before her have shamelessly tossed out. Teach simply slipped up and let her freak flag fly for all to see. That’s it. Is it embarrassing? Sure. Is it a fireable offense? I don’t think so.

McElroy was apparently on “Who Wants to be a Millionaire” back in 2010:



She didn’t make it very far, but then again who the fuck would have thought it was Canada there..
