Morons and cowards across the country are joining in the ban on "Baby it's cold outside". According to CBS News:

"Following the lead of several other radio stations in the United States and Canada, Bay Area radio station KOIT said it was banning the holiday staple "Baby, It's Cold Outside," CBS San Francisco reports. Many listeners have said the song heard on countless holiday playlists is inappropriate in the #MeToo era — but others are outraged the classic tune has been taken off the air.

Penned by "Guys and Dolls" writer Frank Loesser in 1944, the song's lyrics describe a woman trying extricate herself from a date and saying "no, no, no," while a man insists that she stays as he moves in closer, pours her more alcohol, and warns about the weather outside. Critics of the song say the lyrics promote date rape.

"I made the decision, it's off for now," Brian Figula, program manager at KOIT radio told CBS San Francisco, adding he is considering leaving the ultimate decision up to the people.

Since Figula announced the decision, the station has received many angry emails and social media posts from people upset with the decision, accusing the station of political correctness.

"They're upset!" said KOIT radio DJ Freska Griarte who has heard from lots of listeners from phone calls and social media posts.

"They're like, 'why are you guys doing this? What is going on? It's just a song. While for some people, it means something more," Griarte said.

"I could definitely see where it's a little uncomfortable when you think about the lyric"

End excerpt.

Uh, no; this is not a case of a "woman trying to extricate herself from a date". This is a case of a woman - a woman with 1940's scruples - wanting to stay but playing hard to get. It's not just a common human behavior, one that goes back to the mists of time, but is in fact a behavior often seen in the animal kingdom as well. It's the kind of playful chasing that is at the core of courtship.

See my post on this here.

We need to boycott any station that caves to this. The way the Progressive Left advances is by attacking in spots and we do nothing. That has to stop. And businesses have to be more afraid of us than they are of them. It realy is that simple.

On a personal note; I've never liked this song, but I'll be damned if I'm going to allow the lunatic left to take it from us for ridiculous politiclaly correct reasons.
