  • Broadcasters in North America ban Baby It's Cold Outside

    Christmas classic Baby It’s Cold Outside will no longer be played on some Canadian radio stations amid concerns over what some people say are inappropriate lyrics in the wake of the MeToo movement.


    On Tuesday, a handful of all-Christmas music stations owned by Canadian broadcasters, including Corus Entertainment, Bell Media, Rogers and CBC Radio, said the 1940s song will not be played during its holiday programming.

    Isn't everybody getting sick of this nonsense? I found this on Facebook this morning in response, and it sums up the hypocritical hysteria in my mind perfectly.

          I heard it playing this morning at the Dr's office so...

            There might be some places left with common sense.

            I understand there is quite a backlash about the decision to ban the song.

            In the sense that most places don't actually play carols anymore this doesn't mean much to me. It's more the idiot-ology behind the decision that irritates.

              If they're going to ban anything then there should be a ban on playing seemingly endless variations of the same dozen or so Christmas every year between Thanksgiving and New Years. Give us some variety, dang it!

                Pretty dumb if you ask me, I always liked the song, but then again, who cares? It's their radio station, they can play what they like.

                  It's the reasoning more than anything else. People increasingly have this odd way of reading hidden meanings into things while ignoring the plain context written on the surface. Meanwhile... I do hate that reindeer song.

                        I propose NA broadcasters play this delightful holiday song instead. No sexual content here!



                        Nevermind...I remembered the song uses the culturally insensitive word "gypped" and is therefore unallowable.

                              They should serve beans. Then watch the theaters empty out when people start stinking up the place.
