Activists push to ban Holiday Season Song -- ‘Baby It’s Cold Outside’ because it promotes date rape

[Louis Foxwell]

Seduction is the opposite of rape.

[Gaffer]

Somebody need their Huggies changed and put down for a nap.

[henkster]

Most liberal women are colder than a witches’ tit in a brass bra to begin with. It’s cold outside? They can stay there.

[Daveinyork]

I wonder if Lady Gaga will agree to stop singing it with Tony Bennett.

[Right Brother]

Perhaps they can turn their attention to rap and hip-hop music as well.

[WayneS]

But, of course, rap songs that actually graphically describe rape are fine...

[JusPasenThru]

The words ARE pretty racy. Once I actually read them I believed the song is not an appropriate Christmas song. Call me old-fashioned...

[Jaded]

Get over it snowflakes.

[sima_yi]

Perhaps they should seek to ban “White Christmas” because it’s racist? (/s)

[real saxophonist]

I heard someone on the radio say ‘Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer’ was about bullying, and how it took an authority figure (Santa) to intervene.

The words ARE pretty racy. Once I actually read them I believed the song is not an appropriate Christmas song. Call me old-fashioned...

"Baby, It's Cold Outside"

I really can't stay - Baby it's cold outside
I've got to go away - Baby it's cold outside
This evening has been - Been hoping that you'd drop in
So very nice - I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice

My mother will start to worry - Beautiful, what's your hurry?
Father will be pacing the floor - Listen to the fireplace roar
So really I'd better scurry - Beautiful, please don't hurry
Maybe just a half a drink more - Put some records on while I pour

The neighbors might think - Baby, it's bad out there
Say, what's in this drink? - No cabs to be had out there
I wish I knew how - Your eyes are like starlight now
To break this spell - I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell

I ought to say no, no, no - Mind if I move in closer?
At least I'm gonna say that I tried - What's the sense in hurting my pride?
I really can't stay - Baby don't hold out
Ah, but it's cold outside

I've got to get home - Oh, baby, you'll freeze out there
Say, lend me your coat - It's up to your knees out there
You've really been grand - Thrill when you touch my hand
Why don't you see - How can you do this thing to me?

There's bound to be talk tomorrow - Think of my life long sorrow
At least there will be plenty implied - If you caught pneumonia and died
I really can't stay - Get over that hold out
Ah, but it's cold outside
Oh, baby, it's cold outside
Oh, baby, it's cold outside

(from the article):" It’s a movement that started a few years ago and has been taken up with more fervor and passion every Christmas season.
But this season, the movement has gained steam because, according to HuffPo, .."

I stopped right there - where it said "HuffPo "
The only thing about HuffPo is that it is snowflake and 'pajamma-boy' agenda-driven "political correctness"
and "political correctness is just tyranny, with manners" (Charlton Heston).
Always, consider the source !

[firebrand]

I agree. Someday we will look back on all this permissive propaganda and wonder how we ever let it happen to our culture.

[wardamneagle]

Who sits around and thinks this s*** up?

[mewzilla]

Love this version by Tom Jones and Cerys Matthews...

Since the song came out in 1944, I’d say your objection makes decidedly NOT old fashioned.

[Buckeye McFrog]

If they are reduced to THIS, we are making a lot
of progress.

Fifty Shades of Hypocrisy.

[SoCal Pubbie]

Should have read “makes you decidedly.”
