Considering your frequent off color remarks on previous threads (like the bent billed wood pecker), I can only assume that your outrage and that of your wife, is disengenuous at best.

I'm not the president of the United States, or the First Lady, on the bully pulpit. And regarding the bent-billed woodpecker, the line goes after Bill Clinton and does not condone or glorify him, but ridicules him.

And trust me, my wife gets after me if I cross the line. And it ain't because she's a prude - it's because she came from a very abusive childhood and was thrown to the wolves at a young age and had to fend for herself - and saw firsthand what the societal rot can wreak - and now sees that coarseness glorified, with young girls encouraged to act like they're ready to service the fleet. It ain't about being a prude, it's about knowing the time and place to say off-color stuff, and not condoning those who wish to drive this country into the gutter, because of the message being given to the impressionable in this age.

You and your wife are entitled to your own impressions, but you really should respect the right of others to disagree with those impressions. A prig is not the same as a prude.

Prig - A person who demonstrates an exaggerated conformity or propriety, especially in an irritatingly arrogant or smug manner
