Tampon-makers can't mention the V-word. Period. | Richard Adams | World news |

Watch this ad, amended of course to not risk hurting anyone's sensibilities. What I don't understand is are these the same people who show boobs and more in shows like Baywatch Hawaii and Desperate Housewives (which has some more-than-suggestive scenes)!! Why would a word like vagina, which sounds like medical terminology anyways, be offensive? And who are we kidding anyway? Could have understood if the whole issue had been in India but in the 'liberated' US? Who exactly are they protecting?!
