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.

'Nuff said.
Oprah is one sick beech.
Oprah is a lesbian so this isn’t shocking news.
And they call men pigs.
Men have nothing on these womyn. Repulsive.
Did you see this? Shaking my head again!
People like Oprah “celebrate” lunatic life styles then air shows wherein they deplore child abuse, the dissolution of the family, sexual predators, the explosion in teenage STDs, ad nauseum.
My college does TVM every year. This past year it featured members of the faculty!
This is positively disgusting behavior and I have no idea what possible, constructive purpose (this so called play) serves.
Borderline illiterate agitprop that contributes further to the dumbing down of political discourse on America’s leftwing. The socialist intellectuals of decades past would be embarrassed by something so puerile and smarmy as this play.
Last time I watch Faith Hill.
Liked her alot, but this is just sick...and she and Tim McGraw have 3 kids????
Out of curiosity, having never watched her show, how much influence does the b**ch have in American culture (Oprah, not Faith Hill)?
I saw Faith and Tim in a press conference when they cursed and reprimanded President Bush. Last time I listened to anything they record. I don’t care if they disagree, it’s their right to do so. It’s the elitist attitude I cannot stand. If they were briefed every morning, as the POTUS is, they might know what they’re talking about. As it is, they are just ignorant celebrities, using their fame to speak out about situations they neither fully understand nor affect in any significant way.
If a man had said that to a girl he would be in jail.
I was a big Faith Hill fan. She and Mcgraw are raging Liberals.
Did Oprahbama ask Faith about Tim’s vagina?
Oprah is wrapped up in Oprah - I guess the first billion is the hardest to endure and come out still your own person. Looks like she is overplaying her own importance. Look for her audience to lessen.
Please, no cracks about the “Vagina Monologues”,... like “woman who fly upside down,......”
Somewhere here theres a joke about a new book and play about the glories of men’s weiner’s (or in my case and age, my Vienna sausage) John Thomases, thingy’s and what other cute and naughty names we all have for our mighty manhood’s, etc.
Perhaps it will be written by that infamous urologist, Mr. I. P. Freely author of “The Golden Stream”.
Unless of course Mr. Seymour Butts, author of “Under The Grandstand” chooses to take a “crack” at it.
