Literally dozens of people were upset
(Daily Caller) A hysterical and overwrought reaction by a North Carolina student to the song “Blurred Lines†has caused a permanent ban on both the song and the DJ who played it at a campus bar.
The kerfuffle occurred on Saturday night at Fitzgerald’s Irish Pub, about two blocks off the campus of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
The disturbingly hypersensitive student is UNC senior Liz Hawryluk, reports The Daily Tar Heel, the school newspaper.
Hawryluk took it upon herself to step right into the DJ box when the DJ played “Blurred Lines,†a 2013 song by Robin Thicke. She asked him to stop playing the song because, she and other critics say, it encourages “rape culture†with lyrics like “I know you want it†and, presumably, “Just let me liberate you.â€
“Fundamentally, all I was aiming to do is to create a safe space in the Carolina community,†Hawryluk told The Daily Tar Heel. “In a lot of ways, violent or graphic images that allude to sexual violence are triggers.â€
These are the same types of fools who put Miley Cyrus up on a pedestal for rubbing her butt into Robin Thicke’s crotch as he sang….Blurred Lines. The same fools who push an “if it feels good, do it” culture. Who extol risky, casual sex. Who promote young women acting in port videos. From the Daily Tar Heel link
Hawryluk took her fight to Facebook. Dozens of students and community advocates flooded Fitzgerald’s Facebook page, condemning the pub for allowing the incident to occur.
Say, when will these same radical feminists go after all the rap and hip hop artists who push the degradation and sexual mistreatment of women?
This week, Fitzgerald’s issued a formal apology to Hawryluk and her friends.
“This song is played by many DJs at Fitzgerald’s, and other places, but it will never be played here again,†Shoaf said in her apology to Hawryluk.
Of course they did this. And they won’t let the DJ “play” there again.
