Can You Say "Vagina" On The Air?


A letter writer to the editor of the Toronto Star thinks so. (gulp) She is even OK with "penus" and "anus."

The program director and general manager of CHFI, Julie Adam, turned down $20,000 in advertising revenue because the word wasn’t "family friendly." Other Toronto radio stations initially hesitated to run the ad as well because of the word, "vagina," but then ran the promo, noting that within context the word was used appropriately.

Get ready to make YOUR decision on this one, since the play (Eve Ensler’s "The Good Body") that ignited the controversy is a touring company.

Speaking of CFHI: here are their current TV spots.
