Put away that bar of soap.
Jane Fonda doesn't understand the ruckus made over her using the "c-word" on Thursday morning's Today show.
"The first time that I knew about The Vagina Monologues, I was asked to perform that particular monologue in Atlanta, and so I just happened to say the name of it," she told Usmagazine.com at V-Day's 10th Anniversary Party sponsored by Grey Goose in NYC last night.
"I didn't even think," Fonda, 70, added. "I'm sorry if I offended anybody ... I think it's pretty silly."
Fonda had been chatting with anchor Meredith Vieira about the 15th anniversary of The Vagina Monologues when she let the word slip.
Vieira later issued an apology.
"We were talking about The Vagina Monologues and Jane Fonda inadvertently said a word from the play that you don't say on television," Vieira said. "It was a slip and obviously she apologizes, and so do we. We would do nothing to offend the audience. So please accept that apology."
what does cu*t mean?
"If you take offense to what Jane Fonda or President Bush or anyone else says that's fine, and that is your RIGHT. But don't blame them for excersing their rights."
This doesn't make any sense. If people have the "right" to be offended, then don't blame these people for excersing them, either.
Has anyone ever heard of the First Amendment - freedom of speech? This is the United States of America and the citizens of this country are free to say whatever they want, that is until someone who has no self worth is offended. So many people look to place blame and criticize others for saying or doing as they please in a free country. If you take offense to what Jane Fonda or President Bush or anyone else says that's fine, and that is your RIGHT. But don't blame them for excersing their rights. I agree that in the presence of impressionable minds some conversations should be kept g-rated. BUT, on the off chance that any kids happened to be watching the Today show instead of the Wiggles on the day Jane Fonda was on, they probably don't know what that word is anyway and it flew right over their heads. Unless of course their parents were foolish enough to call attention to it - which wouldn't surprise me in the least. It's Boobgate all over again. We had several kids in the room during the famous half time show, everyone was glued to the TV the whole time, and we didn't see a thing during the "wardrobe malfunction". Yet the holier than thou crowd was all up in arms because a part of the human body was momentarily exposed on national tv. Get a grip people.
What do you expect from Hanoi Jane, that Commie C--T?
Sorry, that was "inadvertent" from this Vietnam Navy vet!
And no I'm not taking offense. We could do this all night. Or not. hehehe
1054, 1052 Lovely tangent. Hardy hark hark. ; ) BTW Or is normally exclusive, but it can be inclusive. It's called an inclusive or. Meaning if either or both are ture. One or the other or both. Anyway. Do you understand that you threw a question out there. The #question# implies that either I or others feel a certain way. Going with the traditional sense of or....You obviously don't know who feels that way. That's why you asked the question. So I replied to you that I don't feel as you'd have imply. I only replied by telling you that I'm saying the same thing you are saying. If YOU took the time to consider what I originally said you'd see that I'm obviously not letting others sway me to believe a word is offensive. Nowhere could you imply that form my original post.
"11:45 AM That's because, more so than the word v a g i n a, cnt CAN BE used as a derogatory word for a female. Look it up in the urban dictionary. You will find that cnt CAN have several meanings, POSITIVE and NEGATIVE. Therefore it is POSSIBLE that SOME people will find it offensive and disgusting."
*to take offense
8:16/8:20, I really do have to assume at this point that you are simply a troll looking for attention as you do not appear to be unintelligent or not have a grasp on the English language. You have ignored basic language to take offensive to a non-offensive post and then repeatedly done exactly what you accuse others of doing, i.e. taking offense to a response online and reading into bias when there is none. "Or" is not inclusive. "And" is. Therefore the original post was not inclusive in regards to asking for an explanation of the offense taken. I'm not an English whiz by any means, but I know this much.
Of course people will respond. There is no issue there. You however for some reason chose to respond not to the topic on which our posts seem to share various viewpoints, but rather your perceived slight which ignores basic language rules.
"1:34 & 2:34, so you or others would find a word offensive because other people tell you or them so?"
You OR others. Not you AND others. Not just YOU. And not once, but twice is "or" used in reference to "other" and "them". You OR other/them. You or the person next to you. You or your family. You or her. You or the dog. Paper or plastic. Salad or soup. Debit or credit. Girl or boy. Dog or cat. Pepsi or Coke. Decaf or regular.

"Linda" please get your own material and stop stealing the comments of others. Check, 1:48 PM Anonymous Says:
The fact that she "didn't even think about it" shows what a no class person she is. That word is not in my vocabulary. I think it's disgusting. If anyone uses it around me, I address it. Saying cr*p or sh*t is one thing, but that word is just vulgar. She is vulgar.

My name is Linda. I am a single girl from the US and believe that the Internet is a quite good place to meet new friends. I would like to meet a man who is out of my race for a serious interracial relationship; so anyone who may be interested can check out my photos on the famous site interracial loves .com, under the name of Helenseeking. See you there
Seriously, I'm more upset about some of the stuff they show on the 5 o'clock news than I am about somebody saying a WORD. Get real people!
My bad my reply was to 8:06
6:21 PM It doesn't matter if you said AND/or/ OR others. Get it. If you're going to address someone they are going to respond. ESPECIALLY when your original address was very inclusive. You opened yourself to my response. So I responded to tell you what I meant by my original post. Once again. You must be sensitive. You can't seem to recognize that some things posted over a medium like the internet come out harsh. For example, sarcasm indifference. Get over it already.
6:21, "you OR others" not you AND others. That is not inclusive. You have taken offense when there was none there by ignoring basic grammar.
I'm not defensive or argumentative. You must have a very sensitive ego. I know you said other. BUT you said "1:34 & 2:34, so you or others." You were mistaken to put me in that category. That's all and I tired to explain to you why you were wrong. Because you specified me, it doesn't matter if you said "and others." That's beside the point. I responded to you calling me out--and answered to the extent of only my post.
5:27, you seem defensive and/or argumentative. And without reason as I never specified who would or could find the word offensive, hence the "you or others" as I was addressing multiple people who had offered different posts, one of whom had specifically said they thought lower of women who used the word. It also seems rather odd as we could possibly agree on the topic at hand based upon the posts written. As for my "tangent" it certainly is related to the topic and in fact it was that topic that dictated what I wrote, not two posters who were addressed in one line in a separate paragraph from the rest of my comment.
4:42 I was merely offering what you are saying, only as pertaining to the word. That words, this word, can have a positive or negative connotation passed upon on the users intent, hence my use "as a derogatory word for a female." And the only reason I pointed that out was because people can't understand one way (positive), or the other(negative). As if only one side has a monopoly on this word. When in reality I tried to show that in general the word itself exists with a variety of positive/negative contentions based upon intent. Jane Fonda recognizes that based upon intent and the circumstance, a play's name, this was a hooplala over nothing, BUT she considered that some people might be offended anyway. I said no more than that. I suggest that you don't try to read your own bias into a post, and use it as a jumping board to go off on your own tangent. You might end up arguing with yourself. Since I never specified how I feel.
Jane Fonda did a little more than just oppose a war. She posed for pictures on air defense artillery equipment that was used to gun down American planes. The North Vietnamese regime distributed that picture as propaganda to support their regime. She also made statements on air that struck at the morale of our POWs held by the Vietcong and further bolstered the cause of the Communists. She even admitted once that she goes by her emotions and lets others do her thinking for her. She did not apologize for her actions until recently, when it was just too late, and it was a half-hearted apology at that.
She is just a bad person.
1:34 & 2:34, so you or others would find a word offensive because other people tell you or them so?
Any word can be used to degrade. It is then *intent* to degrade that is degrading.
Did you know in one area a passerby found the marquee with the title The Vagina Monologues offensive? The theater owner changed it to the "Hoohaa" Monologues. A woman found the word vagina offensive because her niece saw the word. A *woman* found the word vagina offensive.
That is the entire reason that is the name of the particular monologue and one reason for the monologues itself. To own the word as women and lessen the degradation of the word, to empower women. There is no reason for other people to have a word to shame others. Hence the usage of certain words in popular culture that also have held previous meanings of insult.
The idea of empowering women may be lost on this particular site, as often as the words "skank" and "wh-re" and "slut" are lobbied at other females. I do think there are others who are smarter than that.
No one should *have* to censor themselves because others might find words offensive. No one would speak about religion, sex, books, music, art, history, science and many more topics if that were the case.
Was the place the right one? Consider the use of sex to sell everything and the news media reporting obsessively about death, blood, and sex. If you watch the news, how many times did you see the clip of Heath Ledger's body being wheeled out? How many corpses have been seen on TV? And there is an uproar over a word?

Who said they prefer the word "pu$$y??" It's all vulgar and inappropriate language for the Today Show. That's the point: You can say whatever word you like in the APPROPRIATE setting.
The fact that it was not said on purpose and she apologized and finds it silly shows that people are stupid. Why would u get offended for another word for vagina? Yet dick, pussy, cock is right to say right? Not to mention other words that are even more offensive. BTW she was talking about the play The Vagina Monologues,which..if you're smart enough its all about the vagina. So grow up people. Use hatred in the right places.
I think it could be offensive because of the implications of the word. If a man says that word, he is reducing a woman to that part of her body that he would use and discard. He's not talking about that part of a woman's body that is used for making love. The word has a totally base connotation that just reeks of sexual dominance--even rape. The fact that these women think it's okay to throw that word around does not elevate the word; it lowers my opinion of them.
11:45 AM That's because, more so than the word v a g i n a, cnt can be used as a derogatory word for a female. Look it up in the urban dictionary. You will find that cnt can have several meanings, positive and negative. Therefore it is possible that some people will find it offensive and disgusting.
Her flabby, scabby, dried out geriatric cu nthole is what is offensive. Keep your legs shut, Jane Fonda W HO RE!

That word is particularly disgusting and offensive. The fact that she said it on a morning program and sees nothing wrong with it, really shows that she is vulgar and has no class.

Why is it offensive and disgusting?
Anyone?
That vile, senile Commie C U N T deserves to have her dried out shrivelled uterus ripped from her with a Ginsu. Filthy, traitor-W H O R E!
I need my bald head examined. Quickly. Please. I'm insane.
I give ger a break, ony because she's 70, probably senile, and most likely aching for attention. We teach our children to think before they speak, but she's old and probably just forgot.
8:49 PM I don't know what you are babbling about, and who you would like to imagine me to be. All the more, get your bald head examined, you are nothing but bizarre.
