Some students at Idaho's largest university say a vagina-shaped chocolate bar handed out by the school's women's center is disrespectful to women.

Boise State University's womens center gave out the white chocolate female genitalia reproductions to incoming students last week.

Center officials say it's meant to get people talking about their nether regions. It's promoting the annual production of a play called, The Vagina Monologues.

Autumn Haynes, a center coordinator, says they want to dispel the myth that it's not OK to talk about "down there."

But Vicki Johnson, a business student, says it's almost to the point of being degrading to a woman's body.

Other students think the candy vaginas are just a publicity stunt.
