finally, some truth in advertising

the century lounge has put a billboard near LAX that reads "vaginas 'r' us" to advertise its strip club:

But Century Lounge owner Howard White insists he's simply advertising his business, and says it's no different than a Broadway marquee hawking a popular play.
"In sort of a naive way, I felt that there was nothing terrible about it since the 'Vagina Monologues' was on Broadway forever," he said. "I didn't feel there was anything terrible about it."

And technically, there isn't, Los Angeles city officials say.

"The word 'vagina' is not an obscene word and we're not in a position to question the First Amendment," Councilman Bill Rosendahl said.

my first thought when I read this is, toys 'r' us will be sending a cease-and-desist letter any day now. but white is prepare for that:

"If I hear anything from them, I'll just change 'us' to 'Vaginas is Us' or 'Vaginas Are Us,' " he said.

no matter what, the vagina stays. viva la vagina! [via boing boing]
