If you're offended by "Baby It's Cold Outside" you're going to have a tough go of it in life. And so are your kids.

First, you are completely ignoring the fact that the song is 74 years old--when women were ladies and men were gentlemen.

Her "protest" was typical of a way a lady would speak to a man instead of just downing some drinks and hopping into bed with him.
No one seems offended by those kinda lyrics when you hear them on the radio ALL YEAR LONG.
Men actually had to court women back in those days, a subtle dance that for both men and women no longer exists. Sad but true.

Secondly, "what's in this drink?" does not imply that she was roofied, or at least it didn't in 1944. Get a grip.
She's obviously deflecting her indecision toward her drink, which again, came with the times. That was a saying back then that meant the drink was weak, she was not being drugged.

(Should we stop watching The Wizard of Oz because when they fall asleep in the poppy fields that means Dorothy is on ******?)

Moreover, what are you worried is going to happen?? That people will hear this song, completely misinterpret the lyrics (as you obviously have) and then decide to go date rape someone?

If you were sexually abused, my heart goes out to you, but aren't we surrounded my far more offensive material on a daily basis that might trigger bad memories? Where does it end? Is banning this song a solution to ANYTHING??

Or maybe you're worried about your children and what they will think when they hear it? Gee, maybe it's the perfect teachable moment to actually sit down and have a conversation with your child about how men and women USED to be. Most notably, NOT offended by everything ******* thing that crossed their path.

Yes, I agree, Rudolph gets bullied in the animated version of "Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer." Aaaaaaand?? Wasn't that the point of the whole ******* story!!??

It's the ultimate story of redemption and turning the other cheek and doing what you gotta do in the face of adversity.
He was called a bunch of names by his peers but shook it off and guided Santa's sleigh anyway--in the fog no less!
Is there a better or more stoic way to flip a red nosed middle finger at some jealous reindeer?

What if Rudolph was just offended and cried and sulked off and went to his room and that was the end of the story? A really shitty story, that's what.

Last but not least, have you seen violent video games or watched modern TV or listened to modern radio?
And you're still worried about a 74 year old Christmas song? Have you lost your ******* mind!?

If after reading this you're still offended by Rudolph and Dean Martin, good. BE OFFENDED.
But please don't imply that the rest of us lack morals or good judgement, especially when it comes to parenting.

If you want to raise your kids to be on the lookout and offended at every little thing that they might not understand or agree with, have at it.
Me and my kids will be watching Rudolph when it's cold af outside.
 
Its getting stupid is what its getting. People are loosing their minds.

I watched Rudolph with my daughter, again for the first time, and Santa was a real jerk at times. Made me laugh.
 
The ASPCA is probably appalled with the Roadrunner cartoons.

Totally agree.
A person can't really apply how things used to be to what is or isn't acceptable today.
Used to be, we wouldn't stand for a President that constantly lied to us and boasted about how great his is while defending a group of known Felons against our own justice department.
It used to be acceptable to ride on the fender of a tractor while your Dad was plowing or grading a road.
These days you would get reported and end up with cops and CPS all over your ***.

Then like you elude to, there are all these "you offended me" people out there today.
Bunch of sissies that can't mind their own and want to tell everyone else how to live, and what they should and shouldn't say.
Used to be people minded their own damn business and let other people mind theirs, and if you didn't like what someone said you opted to not be around them.

F those people.
I can say whatever the hell I want, and do most of the time.
My kids were taught that a person can say whatever they damn well please, (including to his or her own parents) but should also know there can be a price to pay for doing so.
 
The world is upside down right now.
 
Andguessing the people trying to ban this song also listen to the lyrics of rap and think nothing of it.

Yeah never mind this Happy Holidays crap because I might offend someone. This is what we say in Canada and the USA so get used to it and suck it up buttercup.
 
Disney called in "happy universal holiday" in a tv series song. Pleeeze.....from the same company that banned same sex dancing at their teen dance club in the park 30 years ago.
 
Wife and I watched the Smokey and the bandit movie just the other night. Funny as hell and totally offensive to the snowflakes of today. Lots of inside jokes and dialogue. Pay attention to the interplay between Burt and Sally when Burt tells Sally that she will get off at the choke and puke. That movie would make the snowflakes of today loose their effing minds.
 
Talk about snowflakes........


Anita Wien It Snowed Last Night..

8:00 am: I made a snowman.

8:10 - A feminist passed by and asked me why I didn't make a snow woman.

8:15 - So, I made a snow woman.

8:17 - My feminist neighbor complained about the snow woman's voluptuous chest saying it objectified snow women everywhere.

8:20 - The gay couple living nearby threw a hissy fit and moaned it could have been two snow men instead.

8:22 - The transgender man..women...person asked why I didn't just make one snow person with detachable parts.

8:25 - The vegans at the end of the lane complained about the carrot nose, as veggies are food and not to decorate snow figures with.

8:28 - I was being called a racist because the snow couple is white.

8:31 - The middle eastern gent across the road demanded the snow woman be covered up .

8:40 - The Police arrived saying someone had been offended.

8:42 - The feminist neighbor complained again that the broomstick of the snow woman needed to be removed because it depicted women in a domestic role.

8:43 - The council equality officer arrived and threatened me with eviction.

8:45 - TV news crew from ABC showed up. I was asked if I know the difference between snowmen and snow-women? I replied "Snowballs" and am now called a sexist.

9:00 - I was on the News as a suspected terrorist, racist, homophobe sensibility offender, bent on stirring up trouble during difficult weather.

9:10 - I was asked if I have any accomplices. My children were taken by social services.

9:29 - Far left protesters offended by everything marched down the street demanding for me to be arrested.

Moral:

There is no moral to this story. It is what we have become all because of snowflakes.
 
so...people offended by old songs are snowflakes, but people picking on trudauex are mean?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ THIS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Baby Its Cold Outside probably did offend some folks 74 years ago. Those offended had very little means to be heard and/or join voices with a few million like minded souls. It could be done but wasn't easy. It took great conviction and years of struggle to congregate the masses to generate change. You wouldn't get a crowd of protesters to the streets holding signs in the winter. Trivial subjects aren't even worthy that effort in summer time.
Today we have social media to thank for the ease of making noise on the most trivial subjects. It's not cold inside.
 
I saw on espn last night that Oklahoma(my alma mater) quarterback Kyler Murray won the heisman trophy. Oklahoma football is something I grew up watching and still do. I was happy for him as he seems like a real level headed and decent kid.
This morning I wake up and check an internet story about his past "homophobic tweets".
As I read on through the "yahoo sports" story, it goes on to say that he referred to some of his buddies as "queers" in his tweets. Queer was the only word in these tweets that could be considered offensive. This was several years ago. He was 14 years old.

We are screwed as a society.
In my opinion, the person who went back and scoured a 14 year old boy's tweets is the real loser here.
 
Yeah never mind this Happy Holidays crap because I might offend someone. This is what we say in Canada and the USA so get used to it and suck it up buttercup.

Was in Mobile, AL on business a couple of years ago. I was looking for a local restaurant to eat. Found two restaurants across from each other. Couldn't decide. The sign on one read: "We say Merry Christmas". That's where I ate dinner.
