“decadent, dysfunctional American family”

Actually, going by the left’s re-definition of family, they seem pretty normal.
Odd thing, tho - to watch the video on youtube you have to sign in - it’s apparently been tagged as “NSFW”, I can only suppose for some nutso PC reason.
But if you ever need to get past the “sign in to view this video” nag-screen at YT, just type nsfw in front of youtube.com in the video page address, like this -

IF one listed every thing that the libs were “outraged” over or wanted to “ban”, it would fill volumes. The SOBs are insane and should bet treated as such.
Not my favorite song, vis a vis Christmas, but it’s OK. It’s not a Christmas song.
But yeah, it had enough airplay before this hooha, but I swear I’m hearing it MORE in all different versions on all the venues...local radio, satellite, everywhere.
“Funny how Dean Martin’s music is so relevant in these times. “
Volare could do me in if I think about it.
Saw Dean live in Vegas in 1987. I’m sure this was his standard intro....And now direct from the bar.....Dean Martin!!!
If we can get that song banned, I don’t care about the reason. Ugh.
“I kinda feel bad for them for about five seconds, “
For zero seconds.
I think “Emotional Support Chicken” is hilarious.
It’s really too bad she has to dress herself in ham, eggs, bacon, whatever and go by a silly name to make it in the music biz. She probably could get by just by singing if she concentrated enough, she has a passable voice.
“Sales SKYROCKET!”

I think there’s a little of the “Streisand Effect” at play here, too. Declare something the “forbidden fruit” and people are gonna want it.
IIRC, Dean Martin smoked cigarettes, drank, AND seduced women, pretty much all at the same time!
These are the same people (well probably not because they would be too old) that would have skewered the religious people of the 50s and 60s that would have been opposed to this song.
When people read sexual deviance in to everything they see or hear, do you ever wonder what’s going in their minds? Like people who see monkeys and instantly think about black people? What is wrong with them? Is it as simple as projection or something more disturbing?
:)
I wonder if they would faint if they saw the old ads with doctors promoting cigaette brands.
Your point is well taken. Imagine the outrage fifty years ago if a major corporation portrayed an American family in that manner during the holidays or for that matter at any time. Today there isn’t even a murmur because the goal of the Left to destroy the nuclear family is being realized. Many people view that commercial and recognize themselves. American has changed and no longer has a common consensus of social values.
Countless versions play every hour on stations I listen to. I like the song.
The article makes this into more of a right-left thing than it may in fact be. Some of those complaining may be more or less ordinary radio listeners shaken up by Cosby, rather than feminists or SJWs, and the reaction of stations is more about the fear losing listeners than any concern for political correctness.
When the movie “Chappaquiddic” came out I was astounded to see that it had a “warning label.”
Because it depicted people smoking cigarettes.
Considering the subject matter of the movie, the warning label is over smoking? No, I had no idea that smoking warnings were a “thing.” (Not a movie person).
Sometimes I feel as if I’m living in a farce.
