People slam Canadian tourism ads telling people to ‘show their Reginas’

A Canadian town has been criticised for its latest tourism campaign playing on the word “vagina”.

The capital of Saskatchewan province is a city named Regina – which means reigning Queen.

However, city workers chose to make use of the fact that many people point out that the name rhymes with a common word for lady parts.

Officials rebranded Tourism Regina to Experience Regina with a series of cheeky slogans.

Such phrases included “Show us your Regina” and “the city that rhymes with fun”.

However, the campaign has since been dropped after it sparked major backlash.

The organisers have also apologised for the risqué campaign, reports the Independent.
