Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer must be banned! (Srsly?)

Watch the video--talk about political correctness gone over the edge!

Did you miss the hubbub over "Deck the Halls". It seems someone did not like "Don we now our gay apparel".

 

No, I saw that. It's beyond ridiculous how political correctness has overcome our society. My roommate and I had a big discussion over the whole "gay apparel" thing and agreed that the teacher had lost control of the classroom and allowed the students to dictate what was being taught. A perfect teaching moment was lost--there are enough archaic words in Christmas carols and other songs to have a brief lesson on how language changes and how some words fall out of common usage.

"gay apparel"

"here we come a-wassailing"

"Miss Fanny Bright"

"Hopalong boots"

"Feast of Stephen"

"Troll, the ancient Yuletide carol."

And dozens more. The teacher fell down on the job.

 

You leave my Feast alone OK IT IS MINE

 

Will do! Although . . . why you're entitled to a feast named for you and I'm not is beyond me. LOL

 

The PC stuff will continue to go over the edge and has for years. If it's not PC then let's get RC (religiously correct).

Honestly I didn't even bother to watch the video. Let the kids watch Rudolph. It's meant for kids for cripes sake not adults with too much time on their hands.

As for "donning gay apparel". Do the folks complaining about it know exactly what qualifies as gay apparel? I don't because I'm not that worried about it and don't wear it (at least I think).
Now if it were "don we now are gang affiliated apparel" I could see why people might have a problem with it.

Go back a bit further to Sesame Street. Bert and Ernie were gay. Remember that? I could never tell by their apparel though.
Others needed to see Snuffalagus besides Big Bird. Big Bird either had mental problems or dropped a lot of acid.

As I rant I think there is ONE song that really should be banned. Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer.
Again, a reindeer is portrayed as a villian. After all, you have this sweet old lady attacked and mauled by a vicious creature.
It's an unfair slap on reindeer and the old bag probably had it coming.
Or maybe it's because I HATE this song. It was funny. ONCE. THIRTY years ago.

On the other hand perhaps we should kill off Rudolph and more reindeer. I've heard they're good eating. Better than horse actually.

 

"White Christmas" and "Silent Night" are ok... but I don't get some Christmas songs... "Fleas on my Dog"? Why would you sing about that on Christmas? I doesn't make any sense! And "Tiny Bum" ...it's just wrong... especially in todays World, what with all the pedophiles out there.

 

I always thought that Rudolph (and his evil red nose) was supposed to represent the devil. And that Santa sold his soul to him so he could successfully complete his yearly home invasion spree and keep his slave labor factory running.

 

I get the Feast cus I'm Special I hate the song "Little Drummer boy"

 

I liked Joan Jett's cover of it back in the early 80s... but then again I was a teenager with raging hormones lol

 

I liked Joan Jett

 

I always thought that the elf dentist was gay and had an oral fixation.

 

According to the song, Grandma was hammered at the time so t's her own damn fault. She was probably staggering across on a red.

 

That is why people should not drink and walk. I do not preach from the soap box to often but I must say, It is better to drink and crawl then be so hammered that you will surly fall.

 

1. From the Island of Misfit toys to the outcasted gay elf dentist, to the explotation of the deer and bullying, the whole show may not really been meant for kids.
2. I agree if Bert and Ernie were gay, they would have dressed better and have a better decorated house. Now did they share the same bed? Maybe they were bi.
3. Acid.
4. I never liked the grandma reindeer song but what do I know, I never brought the singing fish either.
5. I ate reindeer when in Norway a lifetime ago it seems. They also had like one hundred ways to eat herring and the strongest liquer I ever drank. Loved that nation.

 

I've heard you can cut down the mightiest tree in a forest with a herring.

 

Jimmy Hendrix said he does it with the edge of his hand. Chuck Norris apparently just tells it to fall down and it does.

 

Monty Python and the Holy Grail. A true masterpiece that should be required viewing for all students except there is that problem of religion in school thing.

 

My dentist is gay. Now you've got me wondering about his motivation for getting into the business. He seems to really enjoy his work.

 

I think PC is a good thing. It is being respectful of others regardless. It does get wacky at the edges but every human endeavor does. I got jumped one time for referring to the spouse as 'my wife,' the complaint being this implied ownership. This lady never got around to chastising the spouse for calling me 'my husband.'
Now I refer to the spouse as Fem Major and our daughter as Fem Minor. I try.
