Those University of Pennsylvania Students who decided to stay in Philadelphia for the summer are, apparently, mad that the Transformers sequel (Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen) is being filmed on their campus.
There's a rumor spreading across campus that, although filming on-location at Penn, the film will be set at Princeton (filming has also taken place there). So students, upset by this decision, have done what any young activists committed to a just cause would do--create a Facebook group.
An Open Letter to Michael Bay from the University of Pennsylvania is nearly 200 strong and pretty much speaks for itself:
Princeton? Really? You HAD to shoot at the University of Pennsylvania and choose to have us 'play' Princeton? Shia couldn't have gone to UPENN? Join this group and ask Michael Bay to CGI the University of Pennsylvania (not Princeton) back into Transformers 2.
And so this wasn't completely a waste of your time, here are some pictures from the set of Transformers 2, courtesy of zaclur (more to come soon).
