From Broadsheet we learn that towns that the Pope will be visiting this summer are planning on banning a number of unholy things–including alcohol, some desserts, and tampon commercials.
Because Catholics don’t have vaginas.
Cause vagina blood is for heathens

Oh man, that didn’t teach us that in Southern Baptist Health class.
good thing i’m not catholic.
I really wish the biggest problem facing the Catholic (or any other) Church was an ad for Tampax.
On a side note: Can you please find more stories related to menstration? I never get tired of seeing the happy little stuffed tampon. Maybe she could end up being a back-up feministing logo. A happy little tampon flipping the bird… perfect!
I can’t even begin to express how infuriating it is that somehow, religion is again going to decide what’s allowed in a city. I happen to live in a town where a similar thing happens annually, with an influx of “Christians” (read: no good values to be found, but we must bow to their whims, including the ones about ‘purity’…)
It’s not just Catholics that don’t have vaginas though – according to the pope, my intelligence, right to choice, sexuality and bodily functions don’t exist, never mind what gender or religion I am!
