On The Early Show this morning, Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter became cartoonishly tongue-tied (Porky Pig style) with the nonchalant mentioning of the words... MENSTRUAL CYCLE. He even had to ask if it was appropriate to actually say the phrase on network television, which means he thinks "menstrual cycle" is a dirty word. Watch...
Definition: The menstrual cycle is a recurring cycle of physiologic changes that occurs in reproductive-age females. Overt menstruation (where there is blood flow from the vagina) occurs primarily in humans and close evolutionary relatives such as chimpanzees.
Monkey menstrual cycles!!! Now that's just obscene! Right, Graydon?
The "dirty words" start at 1:37, but you may have to sit through 10 seconds of CBS bullshit before the interview begins.
