Blurred Lines
Does anyone else think that the lyrics to this song are offensive? In fact what we usually hear is the edited version, but even that seems to me to be advocating rape.
I think that the song is offensive to women and I was shocked to hear it being played in the squares.
"I know you want it" is something that many rape victims have said that their rapist has said.
Evidently as long as it has a good beat and people can dance to it, it doesn't matter to many what the lyrics are or what the message is.
It's especially puzzling, to me, when I see a girl up on one of our stages singing this song. I have to wonder if they are totally clueless as to what the song is about,
From what I understand, the entertainment department doesn't allow some songs or genres to be played. I have heard that Led Zepplin and heavy metal are banned. Why would they allow this to be played?
