    Didn't even blink.

    Meanwhile, writer of the Vagina Monologues is upset that NBC apologized for saying it.

    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/02/14/nbc-apologizes-for-jane-f_n_86686.html

    NBC News is apologizing again _ this time for Jane Fonda. The 70-year-old actress used a vulgar slang term on the "Today" show Thursday while talking about the play "The Vagina Monologues." Fonda is appearing in a 10th-anniversary performance and was on "Today" with author Eve Ensler.

    Fonda told co-host Meredith Vieira that she was asked to perform a monologue with a slang term for vagina as the title — and Fonda used the term itself on the air in explaining why she said "no."

    "I said, `I don't think so, I've got enough problems,'" Fonda said.

    About 10 minutes later, Vieira told viewers that Fonda had used a word from the play that normally isn't used on television.

    "It was a slip and obviously she apologizes and so do we," Vieira said. "We would do nothing to offend the audience, so please accept that apology."
