Does 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.

[One Notional Kudos Point to anyone who realises why I suddenly remembered about this :) ]

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/371407.stm says they were banned from July 2001. I am now beginning to feel confused, since I am sure it didn't actually happen until quite recently and hasn't been put into full effect.

:/

No, that date didn't really happen. It was actually as of 14th February:
