Baby, It's Cold Outside Won't Be Playing In Cleveland... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

MrCleveland · 12-05-2018, 01:58 PM

On November 30, 2018, Cleveland, Ohio radio station WDOK announced that it had pulled "Baby, It's Cold Outside", citing listener concerns over the song's content in the wake of the Me Too movement. On December 4, 2018, the Canadian radio broadcasters Bell Media, CBC Radio, and Rogers Media also followed suit. The decision was divisive among critics and the general public, with supporters arguing that the song's possible implications of date rape did not align with current societal norms, and others arguing that the decision was an appeal to political correctness.

Only In Cleveland...

...or is this song banned from other stations in America?

This is hilarious and pathetic at the same time.

A few years ago SNL did a twist on it where after the couple, well, you know, the man wanted the woman to leave but she wouldn't

That is one of my all time favorite Christmas songs/duets !!

Esp. Dean Martin's version !!

Heck if Dean Martin (or another totally hot man was begging me to stay cause it was cold outside, I'd be delighted , not offended)!!

The stupidity and outrageousness of this is unbelievable.

I can't be the only one here who feels like the whole MeToo movement has gotten extremely out of hand and away from what it was originally supposed to be, can I?

It's an annoying song to me, so I wouldn't mind if it were universally banned.

Bravo, Denver. Censorship is never "okay."

If they don't like it, they don't have to listen to it but they don't have the right to take it away from the people who do enjoy listening to it. Those people are just the minority who are just afraid to step up because of the MeToo movement. There are always going to be people who like and don't like listening to something, but that doesn't automatically mean it should be banned.

I just wanted to say while banning Baby It's Cold Outside is totally asanine and there's absolutely nothing wrong with the song the Holderness Family's parody of it that they've just released called Baby Just Go Outside is very funny and on point! LOL.
