Baby it's cold outside..

translation: men are such predators that we have to overstep the bounds of reason and hope to scale back to a sensible medium where men aren't criminalized but also women aren't terrified to leave the house.

much like other forms of oppression that inevitably result in over-protection for the underclass, if men stopped treating women like living cum rags we wouldn't be having this conversation.

but instead of being angry at the men who have created this fiasco you choose to take the movement to end harassment/assault to task. that's..... creepy.

there is this strange trend where the actual oppression bothers people infinitely less than the oppressed talking about it or taking steps to end it.

but just so you know someone cares Mikey, I am so so so so sorry that the movement to end sexual exploitation of women got in the way of you enjoying your song. I can't imagine the grief and mental and emotional anguish you must've felt in that moment. be strong Mikey be strong.

Now that this is resolved, let's go burn some books...

I know, right?
It's COLD outside.

2018 must be the year to be offended... I want to be offended too. I’m feeling a little left out about it. Quick! Someone give me something inherently plain, innocent, or normal so I can get my offense on!

It's never too late to have an unhappy childhood.

It is indeed bullshit like being offended in retro by an innocent song that will take the wind of of the me too people, much the same as those of various ethnic minority groups that not only have a chip on their shoulder, but throw the damn thing at you.
When you have to dig this hard to be offended, when you have your ear to the ground looking for racism, just maybe it is you, yes you, that has a problem. It is a damn shame to hi jack a movement, be it me too or civil rights just because you are an unhappy person.

This pre-dates the metoo movement by several years. I wouldn't be surprised if it pre-dates it by a decade at this point.

And it pretty much always follows the pattern laid out in Lucky's post.

Uh, public radio, family department stores like Woolworth Macy's and Gimbal's, and early TV. Geez, it even won a Grammy. Soft porn? Lol!

So sorry, my mistake. It didn't win a Grammy. It was in a major film and won an Accademy Award. I'm guessing that the people who dispute the nature of this song don't know romance beyond opening the cans for their cats.

People have too much time on their hands.
What other bullshit silliness (and that is what this is...) will they come up with?
Santa Claus is a pedophile predator?
Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer was bullied?
Give me a friggin' break!

The amount of anger in some of these posts isn't just perplexing, it's suspicious.

Makes me wonder who it really is you are trying to protect.

"I saw Mama kissing Santa Claus underneath the mistle toe".

Oh, no! Santa assaulted Mama. Oh, well, we can overlook it with his white beard and hair.

/\ More likely "Mama" was an old port whore. Her actions were noble as that was the only way kids got presents back then - Mama had to put out for them. No harm, no foul.

Aren't memories grand?

 

[mikey3000]

this only happened on one radio station in Ohio---but it is the biggest load of PC bullshit I've heard this month---as a writer--I wish the nazi word police would go away.

Well, it has spread all over the nation now. It really is an interesting study in sheeple.

Never previously listened to it. Very clever dialogue and arrangement. Mercer must have been a brilliant guy. Visited his family house last year in Savannah without knowing much about him. My loss.

Hard not to interpret Santa Baby as an offer of sex in exchange for expensive gifts:

How long before #metoo reviews all songs to assess suitability for us?

^ One would almost long back for G'n'R

Believe it or not, now Rudolf is on the chopping block because of bullying. I just love these political egg heads. Can't wait ti see what they do tomorrow. Luckily Sirious Radio still plays the classics.
