ventaDoes anyone know anything about The Vagina Monologues ?
I'd been told, by people who I'd regard as reliable, that they were extremely funny. Last night, I accidentally found a performance on the telly. The 2 minutes I watched seemed to consist entirely of a woman explaining how she'd "reclaimed" the word cunt, and then repeatedly saying it in different silly voices.
Which the audience seemed to find hilarious. Which I found incomprehensible. It's not like I found it offensive, it just... wasn't funny.

Have they been banned? I missed that.
I remember advertising tobacco on TV became illegal when I was about 7, but there were billboards about quite recently (weren't there?)

Date: 2003-03-07 07:11 am (UTC)Apparently the Lambert and Butler billboards did some kind of "They're banning us sir" "well fuck them, butler" type routine. Which would no doubt be funny if I could remember it properly :)
