(75,480 posts)103. I guess I'm depraved. I thought the song was hilarious.
It was teasing the actresses about being undressed, not about whether the scene was about rape. Every actress who bares it all for the screen knows she's going to get remarks on it both good and bad. It goes with the job. I had an argument recently about this with a male neighbor who seems to think all actresses who do naked in the movies are sluts. No, they are not sluts. It's part of the job. Just about every actress who came after Brigitte Bardot has had to do it at one time or another. To make it seem like a shameful thing is what's wrong, not a silly song about it.

Seth used Lincoln's death as a joke object in 2013. That alone was bad enough.

You're right, but we are seeing a lot more "concern" threads lately on things that matter little.

No you couldn't make the same argument to a black man, because it wouldn't make any sense.

Who said they can't? And, I think you and a few others are missing my point entirely.

Well I don't know what is everyone upset about boobs. They are apart of everyone's body.

Exactly. Three responses on the important topics, and 100+ when someone gets their feelings hurt.

Ugh! Exactly what I'm talking about. A boob joke is not the same as rape, or calling a woman cunt.
