I know, I thought that was funny. Who knows, it doesn't really matter, in the context it's in it's fine.

perhaps jane fonda is an unlikely candidate to inspire a finger hovering above the mute button... haha

apparently vieira made an on-air apology on Fonda and NBC's behalf like 10 minutes after the bit... so offensive

i personally don't find it offensive but that is a very big deal for NBC, considering the audience of the show and the financial consequences of a fine imposed by the FCC.

To fully appreciate the clip, you really need to see the whole thing:

Vajayjay Monologues: Jane Fonda Will C U Next Tuesday

Not only does Meredith Viera flinch, but there's this whole firestorm about it, AFTER starting off the segment with this whole spiel about "happy vagina day" and how the play has changed lives and is going to end violence to women and young girls, etc., all because Jane Fonda said the title of the piece on air, which even in context is still verboten. Classic.

I don't understand why there's such a big deal. I don't know why they'd be fined, so stupid.
