And in Atlantic Beach, Florida, a woman driving by a comedy club was 
faced with what is, apparently, her greatest fear. She came face to face 
with that most horrific of words... vagina. Several plays were currently 
showing at this theater, and one of them was Eve Ensler's prolific play 
The Vagina Monologues, a very common choice at this time of year. As she 
drove by the club, her niece read the marquee and asked, "What's a vagina?"

Well, first of all, a child old enough to read the sign should have 
already known the answer to that question, so shame on her parents.

But, even more disturbing was the aftermath. This woman called and 
complained about the sign, claiming it was offensive. In her own words, 
she was offended she "had to answer that question." Oh the horror! It is 
almost impossible to imagine the emotional pain of explaining to a 
female child that she has a v-a-g-i-n-a.

The theater's solution to this? They changed the title on the marquee to 
read The "Hoohaa" Monologues.

Oh brother.
