Sex/anatomy education on American TV! Zippidy doo-dah.
I'm happy she mentions that the vagina is only the inside part, the tube. It's dumb that it's being confused with the vulva, which is all the external parts.

This belongs on TV? No it doesn't. This is part of the degeneration of society (no, I'm not religious, it has nothing to do with that).

If anything is disgraceful, it's the fact that the subject has to be broached like this with grown adults.
You have vaginas. Clothes can only go so far in making you forget that. There's nothing shameful about them. There's nothing wrong with talking about your body.
With that said, this kind of thing is a step in the right direction. It's better we approach it in a childish manner than never talk about it at all.

I didn't find anything offensive there. Not one iota.
And following Eric's comment, it may seem "childish" but some women feel terribly guilty looking at themselves (imagine we felt like that about ears or noses?). I'm sure that bit of tv has helped many a lady.
For heaven's sake, we must know our anatomy, if only for hygienic purposes!

Yeah, wouldn't want to admit on TV that humans have ... erm ... ANATOMY.

People should already know this. That shows like Tyra even exist is what is disgraceful, and it's disgusting that they should waste time with crap like this. Aren't children taught this stuff in health class?

Good one, final. (...No, not really.)

Only if you're talking to yourself. No one else wants to hear about your body. Yes, yes, a clinical discussion is very sexy!
Anybody know where I can buy some of those cute scatter cushions?
I think this is what society needs, to be more open and understanding. If we continue to pretend certain things that were taught, and worngly taught in this manner, are shameful or bad then that is what is causing the degeneration of our society. The sad fact is most hipocrites and religious zelots, and apparently some non-religious fools want to shelter people, instead of educate them to better society as a whole.
I believe ignorance and foolish censorship will eventually lead our society to ruin.
This just doesn't seem like a very good use of TV. Talk shows in general. And this kind of thing should be taught in schools. Adults should know stuff this basic by now. It's mind boggling that they don't. I wonder if the television would have been invented if they had known it would be used to air such crap. I'm not saying that because they are talking about human anatomy or whatever. If it's necessary, if people have to go to a show like this to be educated on something so basic, then I guess they should be doing it. It's sad that it's necessary.
One thing I thought strange about this video was how Tyra feels she has to stress that they were not in the same room.
I noticed that too. It seems to me the body-fear has become rather extreme when a mother can't see her own daughter nude.
