CHICAGO, IL, April 14, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Oprah Winfrey and Faith Hill were among the prominent celebrities who participated in the tenth anniversary of the controversial play "The Vagina Monologues" (TVM) on Satuday at the New Orleans Arena. An updated version of the play written by lesbian (bisexual) Eve Ensler was performed by Winfrey at the arena. The new version includes a chapter in which a six-year-old girl is asked several questions about her vagina. For several years the Cardinal Newman Society has campaigned to have the controversial play banned from Catholic universities. In light of the new anniversary push, Americans For Truth launched its "Stop the Monologues Project".
The full list of stars who participated in the New Orleans "celebration" included, Oprah Winfrey, Faith Hill, Jessica Alba, Sally Field, Ali Larter, Salma Hayek, Jennifer Hudson, Jane Fonda, Glenn Close, Rosario Dawson, Julia Stiles, Kerry Washington, Calpernia Addams, and musicians Common, Eve, and Charmaine Neville
On pages 103-104 of the 10th-anniversary edition of The Vagina Monologues, in a chapter titled, "I Asked a Six-Year-Old Girl," Ensler asks the following questions based on an interview with an unnamed girl (only the answer to the last question is provided below):
- If your vagina got dressed, what would it wear?"
- If it could speak, what would it say?"
- What does your vagina remind you of?"
- What's special about your vagina?"
- What does your vagina smell like?"
[answer:] "Snowflakes."
Peter LaBarbera, president of Americans for Truth and father of five children, said it is astonishing that Ensler and her vulgar play are being celebrated given TVM's past and current promotion of adult predatory behavior against minors: "Imagine if an adult homosexual man were to quiz a six-year-old boy about his penis -- or a straight man were to ask a little girl silly questions about her private parts - for use in a play! Would such men be praised by the media and famous personalities?"
Stop the Monologues Project Director Donna Miller, the mother of a teenage girl, said, "I find it horrifying that an author would sexualize a six-year-old girl -- particularly when that same author has a record of writing favorably about adult/child sex, at least for lesbians."
Miller noted the hypocrisy of a movement whose stated goal is to "stop the violence against women and girls," while it celebrates a lesbian rape-seduction, underage drinking, and a lesbian adult asking highly inappropriate sexual questions to a six-year-old.
The Vagina Monologues book, on pages 80-82, tells of a lesbian rape-seduction in a story titled, "The Little Coochi Snorcher That Could." In the monologue, a 24-year-old woman plies a 16-year-old girl with alcohol before seducing her (statutory rape in many states).
The original 'Monologues' play included the same segment except the victimized girl was just 13.

“If a man had said that to a girl he would be in jail.”
Excellent point.
DOPRAH strikes again.
Have patients lezzy’s and homo’s can’t breed. now if this were only true for morons Lefty’s.
Now snow has forever been changes in my mind.
Oprah supports lesbian rape?
Maybe she’ll do a show on it.
Snowflakes? This must be “this week’s sign that the apocalypse is near”.
Why isn't Eve Ensler listed as a sexual predator in her home state? I know of a (former) teacher in my state who got so listed for asking these kind of questions of a 12 year old.
If only Oprah had been asked the questions, we might have gotten theses answers:
-If your vagina got dressed, what would it wear?” a fur coat
-If it could speak, what would it say?” more Park sausages mom, please.
-What does your vagina remind you of?” The Lincoln Tunnel
-What’s special about your vagina?” Ask Steadman
-What does your vagina smell like?” The Fulton Fish market
I hope her ratings go down even more after this one. I don’t understand how this show has been on for so long.
Not having seen, or really having any idea what TVM was all about, I went looking for videos on YouTube awhile back. Now, I am not a prude, but the video I saw was disgusting. I honestly don’t see the appeal in the play based on what I saw. The one act that I saw was vulgar and crude. I felt to be fair that I should watch another act, but based on what I had already seen I decided it was a waste of time.
Unless the man is Gay. In that case if she slaps him, she goes to jail. This actually happened to a woman at the State House when they caved in on the Marriage Amendment.
It is very disturbing that three lesbians (Oprah, Ellen and Rosie) have been the most dominant daytime TV talkshow hosts in history.
I think Phil Donahue might object to that list.
Oprah is nothing but a walking (female private part).
“I hope her ratings go down even more after this one. I don’t understand how this show has been on for so long.”
Dumb whitey.
Captain Oveur: Joey, do you like movies about gladiators?
You ever seen a grown man naked?
Joey, have you ever been to a Turkish prison?
Hey! Sailor!
Who's the bigger creep, the author or the clown who finds a dirty joke in it?
And the solution is quite simple - turn off the tv. If enough viewers did that, it would send a clear message to station managers.
The FACT that Oprah has been on so long and is doing well shows me that the America I loved is gone.
