You mean the song that has the line....
If it wasn't for date rape I would never get laid
Gee can't imagine how that would offend anyone in the conservative midwest.
I don't have a problem with the song. I love Sublime but it's not shocking someone got offended.
Really..
Your quite correct it's not shocking that someone would not be willing to take the time to read lyrics in order to fully understand the context of that line.
For example, the way you just wrote it completely masks the context of the lyric, other readers here would have no idea that the context of the line being spoken is the date rapist speaking and displaying his vulgar personality. Sublime uses the song in this context to basically speak out against such individuals. So in retrospect, being offended by speaking out against date rapists seems counter intuitive to me. Then again if people actually took the time to absorb things and understand them this type of dysfunction wouldn't occur.
But hey shucks that wasn't my point in the first place or anything.....
Anyways I was really only commenting on the current PC craze sweeping across our great nation rather than a single event in any case. I am not even sure if it's the correct song in question.
Thanks
