At least, the dumbest article since the last one claiming that something was "creepy" or "inappropriate" that isn't. The author, who is apparently 12 years old, has no pop cultural referents except Saturday Night Live. She seems to think "Baby It's Cold Outside" is "a Christmas song" or "a holiday classic" because it gets played a lot in malls in December. She also seems to think it's "dirty." For her information: It isn't, and it isn't. It gets played a lot in malls in December because it has the word "cold" in the title, and that's all. "Winter Wonderland," "Sleigh Ride," and "Frosty the Snowman" also get played a lot in malls in December for the same obvious reason, and they are also not "Christmas songs" or "holiday classics," much less "Christmas carols." "Once In Royal David's City" is a Christmas carol; "Baby It's Cold Outside" is not.

These dimwits who see rape and drugs lurking in everything they see or hear always remind me of Tom Lehrer's "Smut!" junkie: "When correctly viewed,/EVERYTHING is lewd!"
