Ping!
Wish the U.S. has as much common sense. It's disgusting.
'They cut the title,' said Sarah Mukasa, one of the organisers. 'They cut a sketch. They also cut another in which a 16-year-old girl is seduced by an older woman.
Yet this garbage has played at many American High Schools uncut.
I used to think that people who objected to this play were offended by the title rather than the play itself. Shows how much I knew about the play.
Remarkable that a Third-World country like Uganda can exhibit greater intelligence, common sense, and moral courage than any of the First-World countries.
Indeed. They have a raging AIDS epidemic to prove it.
Well, I almost "worship" the female sexual organ too, but not as a god...more like I'm thankful that females have that "organ" because without it, sex would be boring for me. My hand doesn't say "ohhhh,,,,ahhh,,,,yeah,,,,ooooohhh!,,,,yeah!...yes yes yes yes ohhhhh!,,,,YES!!!"
But that's JMHO.
Lesbians are another subject for a different day....

Actually, they've been getting it under control in Uganda - their president is actually into medical science to deal with the problem, which is rare among African leaders these days.

Thing is, in Uganda the government stepped in and took official action aginst the play. In a free country, the individuals were given the option of refusing to attend the play.
While I applaud the results in Uganda, no one should support the methods. The proper way to oppose crud like this is to refuse to pay money to watch it.
Uganda's abstinence based AIDS policy is a model for the whole world. The quote I referenced "African culture is very much into expressing sexuality," is standard pseudo-intellectual nonsense.
How about "The Penis Monologues" featuring Michael Jackson?
??????
Banning free speech is a conservative position now?
Are you nuts?
If you don't like their stuff, don't buy it/attend their events or whatever, but it's outrageous that they banned it just becaue they don't like it.
I don't think they're talking to each other...
They've been at the forefront of fighting AIDS with abstinence education. Uganda is the only country in Africa with a declining AIDS rate.
American author Eve Ensler's controversial theatre piece, which celebrates female genitals through a series of soliloquies, has been branded 'indecent and tasteless' by a Ugandan government minister, while church groups have described it as pornographic and 'anti-male'.
*** I wish the feminazis in this country would get a clue. Imagine if one of our government people declared it to be tasteless.
"celebrates" ????? I'm sorry, I'm having trouble envisioning how (and more importantly, WHY) one would go about "celebrating" one's genitals. They're pretty much standard equipment on both models, aren't they?
... through a series of soliloquies
Well, I guess that answers the "how." But it leaves a puzzle as to "why."
... has been branded 'indecent and tasteless'
To say the least ...
wish we could get them out of the schools
