Am I Just Being

[Bathsheba]

an elderly lady, or are other people offended by the crutch grabbing and pointing of young male singers, and of extended tongue flapping of teenagers of all sexes in photos ?

>but I am alarmed and ashamed that young people should be exposed to such overt, crude sexuality.

When it comes to music, I wonder how many parents are aware of just what their 11-13 year old children are listening to and singing along to. Last week's number one by Kanye/LilPump with the innocent sounding title of I Love It - well

WARNING IF YOU ARE OFFENDED BY BAD LANGUAGE but, forget the doctored radio edit, this is the version they probably have on their phones.

I'd understand if Ed removed it but shouldn't we be a little bit outraged?

[ummmm]

I remember that, hc.

[ummmm]

FF...what about blurred lines. I didn't really take in the words until my son explained it to me.

My daughter has a tattoo. It's very small and discreet in a "hidden" place. I did not realise for about 3 years!

>Remember the cringeworthy Take That appearance on the Gay Burn show?

Boyzone wasn't it?

I'm wondering if Hc's and Ummmm's little grey cells are suffering from the effects of ageing?

Take That? Are you sure that you're not thinking of Boyzone?

[AuntLydia]

It doesn't offend me because I don't watch those sorts of music videos ( I have yet to see Plácido Domingo crutch thrust). I also avoid FB so I don't have to look at these sorts of things at all. Why go out of your way to be 'offended' when you can basically just ignore these things. Thats my motto.

[Buenchico]

I really must learn to type faster ;-)

[Bathsheba]

I remember when the only tattoos were seen on Navy!

Was it David Cassidy who had a banana down his trousers, must find a pic.

[AuntLydia]

I remember my grand dad spewing forth words only usually heard on the front line when he saw us watching Marc Bolan on the TV. And that was just cos he had long hair!
Why get offended about things that don't affect you personally? Seems a waste of energy to me.

[Sqad]

Yes.......you are just being an elderly lady.

[SparklyKid]

I think Jacko only grabbed his bits to make sure they were still there, unlike his nose which was prone to falling off.

[hc4361]

It was Boyzone - can't tell one boy band from another

[hc4361]

I remember my dad being outraged at 'my ding a ling'.

Marc Bolan wore exceeding tight trews.

Rod Stewarts kegs left nowt to the imagination.....

oh dear I forgot to put an 'easily offended' warning on that. ha ha

I’m elderly (although I eschew the terms ‘lady’ and ‘gentleman’) and it offends me.

Fifty years ago, my ‘sisters’ and I didn’t fight against sexism so that today’s young people could all behave badly!

Those whom the gods wish to destroy, they first make debauched (to adapt a phrase).

[ummmm]

They don't 'all' behave badly.
