"Lady Parts"



Tyra Banks and "Doctor Debbie" take on the noble challenge of teaching talk-show watching adult women about their own anatomy, and to make it less "scary", employ a fluffy, velvet Vajayjay puppet. Thank the sweet lord. I'd hate to think that grown women would be afraid of their own body parts without the kind words of a former supermodel.

I'd like to think that this is just Tyra trying to get attention by being as weird and goofy as possible, and no one actually watches this, without a hearty helping of irony. But alas, because I've been exposed to so much of this type of nonsense, ("taboo" subjects discussed as if at a tea-party, under the guise of "empowerment") I understand that a given demographic really does take it all seriously. Oh dear. I really just don't see us progressing as a society if adults (anyone, really) are afraid of their genitals.

Honestly, any people who use the words "scary" and "intimidating" to refer to genitals (that do not belong to Peter North) should not be able to educate anyone over the age of five about anything.

Yawn.
