Storm Large is Porlandias gift to the new world :D Just another reason to be living behind the green curtain in Boregonia.

Featured in the park blocks parade scene is one of the children of my village, she is the scantily clad contortionist. :lol:

Cooch? It's kind of a hybrid of terms. Maybe snatchola?

...that reminds me of possibly my favorite word I saw invented on Fark.com some time back - "Snatchlasticity." As in, how tight is the, uh, lady part? "Kegels can really help with the ol' snatchlasticity..."

Of course the word was invented in one of the Duggar threads. :)

Eve Ensler used Coochiesnorter in a controversial monologue that featured a 16 yo telling of her first sexual encounter with an older woman.

Half of the people in Michigan have a vagina. How is it vulgar? Its the correct anatomical name for that body part. How is vagina more offensive than penis?

What he is really saying is that the women don't have a problem with the word, he has the problem. It reminds me of 10 year olds getting sex ed for the first time in school and giggling when the teacher says penis or vagina. Or that he would do anything for sex and is afraid of the power any vagina has over him.

This is scary. A vagina is quintessentially female. By making it dirty or unacceptable to say, it is furthering alienating woman from the norm and making woman more of an other.

This is what I was thinking, but you put in much better words than I would have. If scientific names of body parts of women can't be used, where is the next step? No talking about a women's body at all?

Say vagina in michigan. Doug Phillips is a tool.

It's like newspeak in 1984 - when enough words stop existing, it becomes impossible to express or conceptualize certain thoughts. They don't want women to have the slightest idea how their bodies work or that bodily autonomy exists. Raises too many unpleasant scenarios for them.

Doug Phillips is a tool in Michigan's vagina.

The best thing about this BS is the use of the word vagina all over the Internet in the most random of places, all places. It's kind of fabulous.

The piece I read on ABC news used it three or four times in every sentence. I chuckle even now.

I'm seriously contemplating starting a downtown rally or something. The capitol is so close. Link hands and sing vagina in every language... something. This pisses me off an exorbitant amount

[Hane]

Slightly OT: I am reminded of the short-lived design on a promotional t-shirt for Trans-World Airlines. Repeated all over its front were the initials "TWATWATWATWATWAT..." ad infinitum.

[OddlyAmused]

If I were in Michigan, I'd join a rally of people screaming the word vagina. It sounds like it'd be great fun!

De-lurking to post a couple of links to Facebook pages that are being bombarded with vagina. :mrgreen:

It looks like they're already purging posts on the GOP page, which is hilarious, since this was one of their posts:

While we encourage a healthy and civil debate, please refrain from posting vulgar comments or pornographic material on this page. Such activity is a violation of the Facebook code of conduct.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

The MI House Republicans banned me from their FB page after writing "VAGINA!!! CERVIX!!UTERUS!!" on their wall repeatedly. Oh well. There's still Twitter. :whistle:

I laughed so loud my headship, Mr. librul, came to see what was up. Betty was pretty swell, too!

[geniebelle6901]

So, are they going to ban the word penis or testicles as well. I wonder how that's going to go over in biology or anatomy class.

[B5SnowDog]

Someone should send them a copy of this Queen of Wands comic.

WoW their Vday Monologues performance next year should be a fun event

I am normally a quiet and shy person, but I have actually performed in the Vagina Monologues. Not in Michigan, though. I quickly became unafraid of the words vagina, clitoris and others. It was a great experience, and I can't wait to do it again. You'd think they were saying Voldemort or something. What was that quote from Harry Potter? "Fear of a name only increases fear of the thing itself."
