Naming Body Parts

[livejournal.com profile] melissagay has brought to my attention this article about a Newberry Award-winning book being pulled from libraries because it uses the word "scrotum" to refer to that body part. So, today is "Naming Body Parts Day."

Scrotum. Scrotum. Scrotum. Scrotum. Scrotum. Scrotum.

Scrotum. Scrotum. Scrotum. Scrotum. Scrotum. Scrotum. Scrotum. Scrotum. Scrotum.

Scrotum. Scrotum. Scrotum. Scrotum. Scrotum. Scrotum. Scrotum. Scrotum. Scrotum. Scrotum. Scrotum. Scrotum. Scrotum. Scrotum. Scrotum. Scrotum. Scrotum. Scrotum. Scrotum. Scrotum. Scrotum. Scrotum. Scrotum. Scrotum.

Also, my favorite part of the article, taken grossly out of context for humorous purposes:

Ms. Nilsson, reached at Sunnyside Elementary School in Durango, Colo., said she had heard from dozens of librarians who agreed with her stance. “I don’t want to start an issue about censorship,” she said. “But you won’t find men’s genitalia in quality literature.”
