Promoters of a production of “The Vagina Monologues” in West Haven, Connecticut put up a billboard overlooking the New England Thruway. But “it seems that the word ‘vagina’ writ large shocked a number of people who drove past.” The marketer “started receiving rambling, incognito messages of outrage on his answering machine, and the local media picked up the story. He has been accused of deliberately enlarging the inflammatory word on the billboard, though, as he points out, he’s simply using the play’s logo.” – Variety
