vagina, Vagina, VAGINA!

That’s right, ladies! Sing it loud, sing it strong…..’cause your tampon makers are never going to! At least not in America that is. Richard Adams’ blog on The Guardian’s website  (and Ms. Magazine’s new blog !) reported that the major networks in the US refused to air a Kotex commercial that used the word vagina.

And, as far as I’m concerned Amanda Hess of The Sexist hit the nail on the head…..

“Now, the commercial contains no direct references to female genitalia – you know, the place where the fucking tampon goes.”

Nice.
