AP - SEATTLE - There were a few surprises for the University of Washington’s Class of 1957 when they opened a time capsule sealed 50 years ago.

Among audiotapes and copies of the yearbook and school newspaper were 1980s-era porn, a condom and some dirty underwear.

Alumni opened the capsule earlier this week in preparation for a public unveiling Saturday during a celebration of the 50th anniversary of the university’s communications program. The capsule had been placed in an interior wall of the then-new Communications Building in 1957.

There aren’t any suspects in the case. But it was located outside the offices of The Daily — the campus newspaper — and it’s assumed someone from the paper was responsible for the revisionism, said communication alumni and development manager Victoria Sprang.

jay: um, not to kick a person when they’re down but aren’t time capsules supposed to be sealed, in like, concrete and not kept open like an after-hours video return? what’s that? you figured it would be easier to open this way? of course. you were a very thoughtful year, 1957. as a representative of 2007, i want to send you our sincerest thanks.

dan: jay, does anyone own futureporn.org?
