And inexplicably the longest article I’ve read on the site in months.

“Everyone asks, Corinthian leather? Of course, why not the best?”

Copped a look at his wang. It’s clearly not that cold outside.

Babadook!

That is so f-ing horrible and yet I’m laughing at the way you phrased that.
I need to quit social media.

There are plenty of people in here talking about how dumb Jacob Oller and everyone else is who has this take about it being a “rapey” song, so I’ll just say I agree with the rabble and move on with my day ...

Even though the movie “My Father the Hero” is shit, the scene of Gerard Depardieu singing “thank heaven for little girls” at a resort where everyone thinks that his teenage daughter (played by a young Katherine Heigl) is his underage lover is actually quite funny. 

This, umm, review is utterly banana pants insane. Mostly in a bad way, sure...but also kind of in a good way? Spending this amount of time and effort savaging a light-weight, long forgotten Ricardo Montalban vehicle is stupendously misguided, but I also can’t help but admire your commitment to the bit. Let’s see: one, …

It wasn’t super secret to our grandparents. If it were otherwise some of us might not be here.

I’ve always been creeped out by ‘You Must Have Been a Beautiful Baby’, the concept of which is extrapolating backwards about how attractive someone was as an infant based on how good they look currently. Why is that something you would choose to do?

I’m of Cornish ancestry, and am aware that my people went pretty much anywhere there was a significant mining operation. This means that there are Cornish families throughout Brazil and Mexico - apparently Cornish pasties have their own Mexican variant that are quite popular - so I imagine there are probably a bunch…

I’m not saying this was a particularly worthwhile article, but at the same time, I’m not expecting pop culture blog The AV Club to fix the “shitshow” of our world. I’m not sure how they’d go about that.

That’s much more succinct than the explanation I tried to write before giving up. A better article about this song went into how when a woman can’t say “yes,” she can’t say “no” either, and that gives tremendous leeway to abusers to force themselves onto women because of how ambiguous “no” is in that dynamic.

Or Baby, It’s Cold Outside was written at a time when it was frowned upon for a single woman to be openly interested in sex and she and the guy are playing a game to get what they both want.

The Legend / Clarkston version is an embarrassing time capsule of the worst interpretations of the Me Too movement. “yeah baby, I’m cool to get down...as long at you don’t find that offensive or it makes you uncomfortable, in which case I’ll be over here while you consider whether this is something you really want to…

I love his classic character Commandant Kadiddlehoffer.

Man, the AV Club really has it out for this Baby It’s Cold Outside guy. He must work there or something. 

Does the person who wrote this really think that José O’Rourke is such an implausible name? I guess they aren’t familiar with the Chilean independence hero Bernardo O’Higgins.

I enjoyed this article, and I would like to see more like it in the future.

I'm not saying it isn't a sexist song, I'm saying it isn't a song about a man trying to drug and rape a woman
