Trawling through the web news sites, I came across this priceless piece of news, courtesy not of the Daily Mail but of The Guardian no less. /// Tampon-makers can't mention the V-word. Period.///

This was appertaining to an advertising campaign for tampons which was rejected by US television networks for daring to include the word vagina.

Would it be allowed on British television?

[ummmm]

Would it be allowed? I don't see why not as everyone is effing and blinding past 9 o/c.

I think USA are much stricter than us....strange really as all the porn I've ever seen in my life is American..!!

(haven't watched much btw..lol)

"Tampon-makers can't mention the V-word. Period."

I like the headline - how very creative, the writer managed to put V, tampons and period all in. lol

Why the need to duplicate my link?

Just to annoy you.

It's Stanley Milgram's Link Repetition experiment. You failed.

[Gromit]

Sorry AOG

When I tried your link it didn't work (it does now so maybe the page was being updated).

I googled and found it via a different link so posted it.

[ummmm]

Sometimes you boys....*sigh*

It's not swearing is it, it's just that rightly or wrongly people don't partycularly like hearing the word.
It's like the toilet paper adds. There's endless pictures of labrador puppies gamboling through the grass and talk of things being soft, strong and very very long, but you'll never hear the slogan 'Andrex - good for wiping the excrement from around your anus'.

Funny that, I couldn't even copy and paste one link, like you said they were most likely updating the site.

I think you guys just like to pick on each other, and if you don't do that you miss it. :-)

Exactly Zeuhl. Nobody wants to hear the phrase 'vaginal itching', especially not halfway through an episode of Heartbeat.

[Quinlad]

Strange. I often think "Irritating c*nts" when I'm watching Heartbeat.

An old man in the nursing home got a bottle of wine for his birthday. He talked the old lady in the next room into sharing it with him.

After they were both totally bombed, he started groping the old lady and pulling at her clothes. He managed to get her blouse and bra off before she stopped him.

She said, "I cant do this, I have acute angina".

The old guy says "God, I hope so, youve got the ugliest tits Ive ever seen."
