[Contains explicit content] From a 2007 show: It's is all about Susie's favorite parts. First, she's once again amazed at the close-mindedness of some school administrators as three high school students were suspended for saying the word "vagina" during a production of The Vagina Monologues. Then, Susie says she's recently learned about a product that's designed to shrink your vagina by using all-natural ingredients. Shrink your vagina? Susie says this is worth investigating.
