we would do nothing to offend the audience, except air our mediocre show every day.

I didn't say anything when Jane Fonda went to Hanoi, BUT SHE WENT TOO FAR THIS TIME!

I would think that most of the people who were offended by the word were already offended by the mention of the Vagina Monologues.

There was nothing inadvertent about it. Good for you Jane. #1 is right, that show is another word you can't say on tv.

Funny, I just spent the last half hour on youtube watching a variety of live news bloopers with a few naughty words in the mix.

"Well look at how big my my vagine looks. It's a huge vagine! I've even had to underlined it."

Nothing to offend our audience.

OTHER than being a 4 hour long informercial for products every day.

OTHER than airing commercial breaks every 2 minutes

OTHER than ending every day 7 minutes before the hour and airing commercials for that ENTIRE 7 minutes

I'd rather have her say cunt- cunt- cunt- cunt than to have her comisserate with the enemy. Saying Cunt is forgivable. In fact, some of the Cunts at FCC need to get over themselves with their pussy restrictions. Believe me, Americans can take it, given the language I hear every day. But her actions in the Vietnam era, and this from someone who was against the war at the time were totally unforgivable. There is a right way and a wrong way to protest. The wrong way is to give aid and comfort to the enemy. So let me say it again. Cunt, Cunt, Cunt.

The Today Show won't just invite any person on to say the word "cunt".

Jane Fonda is truly blessed.

hey, if you had to experience Meredith Viera and Matt Lauer at 7am, some inappropriate words might come out of your mouth, too!

Diane Keaton said fuck on GMA a few weeks ago...maybe this is all some sort of weird contest between aging female stars from the 70's...i'm looking forward to Marsha Mason and Jill Clayburgh doing some sort of dueling Tourette Syndrome fueled dialogue on CBS This Morning in the coming weeks...or just give Faye Dunaway her own reality show; she IS the craziest woman on the planet!

@12 it is a magic word infused with powers to scare a populous jaded by the f-bomb

It is the feminist N-word, a much more powerful symbol for the vagina than pussy. Pussy conjures images of a weak and soft cat. Cunt is powerful and dangerous

That's OK..Fonda was just using a noun that describes herself...except that she should have used the adjective 'old' in front of it...

Jeez, a lot of grumpy old VEE-ET NAM supporters in this comments thread.

Why can't you say cunt on tv?

Because no superstar has named his/her child Cunt. Yet.

Check out the dumb cunts waving at the camera live behind Meredith.

Sure a big difference from Canadian TV and American. CBC has no problem with language on it's shows.

I love that woman so much. First she seduces Stephen Colbert and now this.

I LOVE YOU JANE! LOVE LOVE LOVE!

I'm going to go watch 9 to 5 now.

9 to 5 SUCKED.

but getting "Cunt" out over the air? nice work, debaser!

I wonder if you could say "Cunny"? "Quim"? those are oldies but goodies...

All those old Viet Name farts who whine about Jane Fonda just need to shut up. You lost your stupid war, talking about it won't change that.

There's nothing more boring than some Viet Nam vet crying about how "badly" he was treated when he got home. Cry me a fucking river. You want bad treatment - try being in the bonus army. THAT was bad treatment.

Good for Jane.

Boring. It was the title of one of the Monologues - she wasn't using it as a curse or in reference to her vag.

I'm very disappointed that Jane didn't call Meredith a cunt, though.

Yesterday I was watching a cage fight (I don't watch fights like, ever, so I have no idea what the correct term for what I was watching is) aired on a channel that is part of a basic cable package and the guy who won said "motherfucker" on live T before 8 p.m. It was great. Someone's getting a fine today!

How is saying "cunt" in the context of it being the TITLE OF THE SCENE SHE'S DOING offensive than that lady on the View who's so fucking self-involved that she doesn't know the world is round or that people lived on earth before Jesus?

In honor of the words you don't say and George Carlin, I offer this:
shitpisscuntfuckcocksuckermotherfuckertits.

Seriously, say it all as one word. It's fun. :)

And here I thought when Jane said 'cunt', she had to be talking about Ann Curry.

You know, old Ann-who-can't-let-anyone-get-a-fucking-word-out-without-interrupting-them. That old cunt.

I was at a celebrity-filled 'Vagina Monologues" at Madison Square Gardens a few years back...Glenn Close had the "cunt" monologue...and I much prefer Jane's version.

I think theres plenty of things allowed on tv that offend me but im a grown up and i get over it. and for the sherry who has kids let me tell you something if your kids enjoy watching that show maybe you should pay more attention to them instead who said cunt on tv

Hooray for freedom of speech! Oh, that's right. We don't have that here.
NBC wonders why their ratings suck. Maybe they should try more good ol' slang words for sex, not less.

Kaye Ballard? Was that Kaye Ballard sitting next to Jane Fonda?

Is Kaye Ballard still alive?

Ladyparts I totally agree. Curry is s serious cunt. A smug condescending cunt. Drama queen cunt. How does she still have a job? She blows cunt.

AnnieMae, I don't know how Ann C still has a job.

I mean, it's clear that Julie Chen has one because she shines the knob of Les Moonves on a daily basis.

I also wonder how Mr. Big Blond Gay Weatherman on "Good Morning America" got HIS job. More knobshining I suspect.

Poor Meredith Vieira. Here she thought she'd heard the last of "cunt" when Star Jones left "The View", but it's haunting her still.....

"There's nothing more boring than some Viet Nam vet crying about how "badly" he was treated when he got home. Cry me a fucking river."

Well said from, by far, the most ignorant c**t ever!

'Nam-bey Pam-bey? Nice.... Do you have a Betsy Wetsy? Puh-lease stay in your own little hole until you get a little education...try reading a Booky Wooky!

Star Jones sounds like a wolverine or bear or something when she breathes...ever notice that?

I think the only one I have any respect for anymore is Al. It pisses me off when Ann thinks things have "gone too far" and she goes into her mommy-naughty boy routine. Sometimes I wish she disappeared in Antarctica...

I like Lenny too.

Nam-bey pam-bey, how much of a moron are you? Check history, Viet Vets never lost a battle, nor did they the war. They are among the most honorable to serve. The treatment they received gives them every right to hate an old treasonous bitch like Jane Fonda. More than her use of the C word, is her complete monopolization of the interview. As with most of her ilk, she wants it to be all about her, she could care less about a cause, unless she is the cause.
