BOISE -
They might taste good, but some BSU students think the vagina-shaped, white chocolate candy that the school's women's center is distributing is in poor taste. "That's almost to the point of being degrading to a woman's body in my opinion," says business student Vicki Johnson.
Representatives from the women's center distributed the candy this week during a meeting for freshman honors students. But the center has actually been distributing the candy for six years now, and during that time the center says it's received plenty of criticism.
The center's interim coordinator Autumn Haynes thinks that criticism is okay because it gets people talking. "We want to dispel that myth that it's not okay to talk about 'down there.' Many times young girls, particularly in our society, are raised with the belief that they have to fit a certain kind of body type and that it's not okay to feel comfortable about their sexuality, and our mission is really to dispel that myth so that women can feel comfortable about their bodies," Haynes says.
The center says it distributes the candy to promote the annual production of a play called, "The Vagina Monologues." It's based on the stories of hundreds of women and billed as giving "an honest account of their lives." The center says ticket revenue pays for the candy and no taxpayer funds or student fees are used.
Other students say they're not offended by the candy. "But I wouldn't eat one," says Jennifer Gillmore.
"(They're) just trying to get attention more than anything. That's what I honestly think it's all about, get publicity," said Tad Dunavan.
On that point the women's center would probably agree. They want publicity for their message - a message about women's sexuality delivered without any sugar coating.
Is what he distributes to his FReeper chick list on Valentine's day?
This is truly disgusting, but I have to ask:
1. Just what could the flavor be?
2. Do they offer their "treats" with and without shredded coconut as a "decoration"
3. Only white chocolate? Isn't that racist?
That's not true, he sent me little candy hearts with dirty sayings.
Bet you can't eat just one....
Just wait until the news breaks about the novelty suppositories offered during gay pride week.
Oh, the comments I could say.
Oh my gosh -- it just gets better and better (or worse and worse!). ROTFLMAO!
As long as they are in good taste...
BTW, thats a tagline that has it's own set of scary images.
We could say the same for many men....get back to your homes and take care of your families.
LMAO.
How many licks does it take to get to the center I wonder?
I'll bet it is different for each candy. No two are alike!!!
Yep, never experienced any two alike myself.
As long as they are in good taste...
Gosh, on a highbrow thread like this, how could they be otherwise?

(If what I just wrote makes you sad or angry,
Sadly, it's already been done. And banned in Singapore.
Reminds me of the Asian candy called.. "Pocky".
Well, dang, I was beginning to think I had a brilliant idea there! I could almost taste that minty-fresh liquid center!
(hanging my head in shame and remorse!)get it? :0
