From the Century Club, a nightclub within a stone's throw of the airport.



Unsurprisingly, local communities are Outraged!

• Juan Garcia, a manager at the Carl's Jr. restaurant next door to the club, said it was just a matter of time until he receives complaints from customers about the sign.
  
  "It'll bring some comments," he said. "It shouldn't be up there."
  
  But Century Lounge owner Howard White insists he's simply advertising his business, and says it's no different than a Broadway marquee hawking a popular play.
  
  "In sort of a naive way, I felt that there was nothing terrible about it since the 'Vagina Monologues' was on Broadway forever," he said. "I didn't feel there was anything terrible about it."
  
  And technically, there isn't, Los Angeles city officials say.
  
  "The word 'vagina' is not an obscene word and we're not in a position to question the First Amendment," Councilman Bill Rosendahl said.

Keeping with the upscale theme of the famed Broadway production featuring vignette monologues, White announced that future performances will be sans pole, with the stage containing a chair only. After all, some sacrifices are necessary in the pursuit of true art.

* No idea if there was one before in LA, midskooler that I am. But I digress.

I hear that Copy Editor magazine had a whole issue devoted to the difference between vulva and vagina. It is my understanding that in the above-pictured sign, "vulva," not "vagina," is correct.
