are you f** kidding me?


well, i just stopped listening to our local radio station KOSI 101. forever.

do people really have so little to do?  REALLY?

a song that has been playing since 1949 and has been recorded by multiple very talented artists.  a light-hearted song that now "millennials" think is talking about date rape drugs and kidnapping has been banned from multiple radio stations across the country.  it's been a staple in the holiday music repertoire for as long as i can remember.

but now in the #metoo movement, which don't get me wrong, i support 100%, this song has been deemed reprehensible.

i guess we should ban Little Red Corvette by Prince because that song talks about a prostitute and is degrading to women, right?  or one of the other tens of thousands of songs that reference women in a negative light.

when does it stop?  seriously.  WHEN?   if you are offended by a song, i have an idea.  CHANGE THE STATION.  press skip.  fast forward. whatever it takes.  just like you don't watch movies that are offensive to you.  but what behooves you to make sure NO one gets to choose what they want to listen to?  who died and made you god?

is it your lifes mission to be the morality police and force everyone to think how YOU think?

isn't that just a bit narcissistic?

oh but wait.  we ARE talking about millennials.  narcissism is their middle name.

UPDATE:

i just looked at a poll on KOSI 101 website.  they asked their listeners if they should be playing "Baby It's Cold Outside" and only 5% say no ... 95% say yes.  out of 11,824 responses, 591 people said no.  10,641 other people say play it.  *smdh*
