Jane Fonda Says The C-Word On Live TV

By Kelly West: 2008-02-14 20:11:33

The Today Show is a live show and there is no tape delay. So if someone were to slip-up while on the air, it would be broadcast on the show without an edit and viewers on the East coast, sitting in front of their TVs, eating their cereal and watching the show are going to see it. Such was the case today when Jane Fonda, said the C-word this morning.

“The C-Word?,” you asked. Don’t make me type it out. Personally, the word doesn’t really offend me (few words do) but I don’t generally use it in conversation and I’ve never had a reason to use it here at Blend Television, so its probably best if we keep it that way. Fonda was referring to a portion of the show, The Vagina Monologues when she casually said the word. As “c---” is slang for vagina, I’ll buy that but seriously, who slips up and says that word on TV? The word was heard loud and clear for viewers on the East Coast but it was bleeped out later for the West Coast broadcast.

Meredith Viera later apologized on behalf of Fonda and the show. If you really need to see it, check out TMZ’s video below:

I know this is the US and that is a bad word to call a lady, but I think in the UK its pretty common slang, like calling someone a "jerk". They say in a lot of British comedies ("Shaun of the Dead").
That doesnt make it right obviously, im not defending it because a lot of people (especially women) found it offensive, but I think the Vagina Monologues do break down a lot of social barriers which Ill bet is why that segment of the VM is even called that in the first place.
Kudos to Eve Ensler.
To me what Fonda said wasnt offensive, it fact, I thought it was actually pretty fricking funny.

Why did Jane Fonda call herself a C--- on national TV?

Here in Amherst, Massachusetts our HIGH SCHOOL is going to perform 'The Vagina Monologues' tomorrow night. And No, School officials are not going to issue an apology for allowing a teenager to scream the C-word in public. Yes, this is the same High School that in 1999 became the only entity in history to ban a production of 'West Side Story'. Now you know why I call my Blog "Only in Amherst!"
