Times Won’t Run Vagina Ad”The newspaper’s refusal to run the ad is exactly what the Vagina Monologues is all about. At the Seattle Times, the vagina is apparently so taboo that an abstract artistic representation of it is considered unsuitable for publication. Isn’t this precisely the mindset that the play challenges?– Posted by “UncommonSense””So, just because your 13-year-old son hasn’t seen a spread open vagina with an engourged clit yet, the artwork is perfectly fine? How about a large, erect penis with pre-cum dripping down the side? That’s OK, too? Oh, wait, if not, you must hurry to see “The Penis Monologues!” How trite and dimwitted…”– Posted by “Uhm, Yeah””Uhm, Yeah – you sound really outraged. What, did mommy take your sucker away too early? Get rejected by the little red-haired girl back in Grade 1? Have more than your share of humiliating, failed sexual encounters? All of the above? There’s got to be a reason you would think there was something wrong with that poster.”– Posted by “Ano Genitus”Beamer Hits Carriage, Cops Hit Cruise Control”Let me get this story straight. If I am driving my car downtown and hit another car or bus and no one is injured, I can just drive off and Seattle PD will do nothing other then take a report. I won’t get arrested or cited. Is this a great city or what?”– Posted by “Hal Longan””Now maybe we can begin the discussion of outlawing horse-drawn carriages in the city. The unnecessary stress and risk these poor horses are subjected to is something we should all consider before climbing into one of these carriages. Of course, I think it is shameful that the police don’t seem to be taking Graf’s accident as seriously as they should, but let’s not forget the other victim in this–the horse.”– Posted by “Torrie McDonald”KEXP’s Headed for New York”New Yorkers will tolerate this dude talking about himself and his kid all morning long for about 2 shifts. Then the bags get packed.”– Posted by “Mr. Wilder””So a few years back, KEXP came to the South Sound and broadcasted here as KXOT @ 91.7 FM. Then they decided it wasn’t worth their while they had better things to do like paying John a six figure salary. I had just donated a chunk of change to them before they abandoned their Tacoma frequency and decided then that my pocketbook was closed to them. Now it’s cool to travel cross country for another station? Pack all your bags as far as I’m concerned.”– Posted by Oly Dude
