“A theatre in Florida has had to change the title of a charity production of The Vagina Monologues on its marquee, after a woman complained that it was offensive.

The new name? They’ve decided on ‘The Hoohaa Monologues’.

Atlantic Theatres in Atlantic Beach, Florida, received a complaint from a woman who’d seen the advertised title as she drove past with her niece. She said that it had made her niece ask her what a vagina was.

The theatre’s Bryce Pfanenstiel commented: ‘I’m on the phone and asked “What did you tell her?” She’s like, “I’m offended I had to answer the question.”’

aurora-borealisBeing offended is entirely appropriate. Because after all, women don’t have vaginas, they have hoohaas. And they don’t give birth to babies, storks bring them.

Oh, and the Aurora Borealis is just the Lord communicating with us via Morse Code.
