Advertisers ban the V-word. American Public saved from indelicacy.

The venerable menstrual supply company Kotex recently decided it was time to shake things up with an ad campaign that used, gasp, the word vagina. Fortunately for us delicate Americans, according to the New York Times, all three major networks refused to run the ad, saying the word vagina is not suitable for broadcast. When the ad company, JWT, changed the wording to "down there"…only two networks turned it down.

Hilarity.

But Ashley, didn't you know that scientifically correct designations for the female body are unfit for public ears? It's because women are sinful, you see, and therefore references to their evil workings must be kept vieled for the sake of decency.
