People Are Being Particularly Stupid Today
Thanks to girlfromsouth for emailing me about this bit of stupidity.
A theatre in Florida has had to change the title of a charity production of The Vagina Monologues on its marquee, after a woman complained that it was offensive.
The new name? They've decided on 'The Hoohaa Monologues'.
Atlantic Theatres in Atlantic Beach, Florida, received a complaint from a woman who'd seen the advertised title as she drove past with her niece. She said that it had made her niece ask her what a vagina was.
The theatre's Bryce Pfanenstiel commented: 'I'm on the phone and asked “What did you tell her?” She's like, “I'm offended I had to answer the question.”'
So the theatre, anxious to avoid controversy, decided that the childish slang word 'hoohaa' was the most appropriate thing to replace 'vagina'.
::headdesk:: Seriously people, "VAGINA" IS NOT A DIRTY WORD. Grow the fuck up.
