I remember reading that some time last year. It's amazing how people can get so upset over things like songs and books and art. :roll:

If you dont like the song, TURN OFF THE RADIO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Change the station, get over it. You can see worse in the newspapers and tv, leave the Hip alone. I know its old news but I hate that *#^%#). :rambo:

He probably the same idiot that tries to get Harry Potter banned because it shows kids doing witch craft...Get a life

Doesn't that complaint qualify as treason north of the border? It's too bad they didn't post his name. Hell, I'm only half Canadian and I want him deported! I suspect he's a curmudgeonly lighthouse keeper...

What an idiot...wtf is with people?? :rambo: :rambo:
They seriously need to take those rather large sticks out of their asses. :roll:

That was totally a case of a person SAYING they were offended simply because they COULD. "This has the possibitily of being offensive! And I'm bored! Therefore, I must take action!"

What got me was his/her comment when the station offered their response. The complaintant said "I want that song in question off the air as it is absolutely disgusting.” ....
You see these kind of people all the time. They are the kind of person who think that they make the rules for everyone. As long as they don't like it, no one should have the right to enjoy it. These are the same type of people who said, 50 years ago, that rock and roll should be banned as it would turn everyone into sex crazed immorals. :roll:
When it comes to musicical tastes I say for the most part, "to each his own". I agree with Megaman. If you don't like what you hear, change the station. It's that simple...

To cut to the heart of the matter, what children would have heard this song at 11:02 a.m. on April 2, 2002, which was a Tuesday?
The assertion that the song was played at a time when children could have heard it is false, a lie that appears to have been concocted for the purpose of finding against the radio station when other standards failed.

an ignorant person on a power trip, just as jkdiamond pointed out "He probably the same idiot that tries to get Harry Potter banned because it shows kids doing witch craft...Get a life" Good point. the man needs a hobby.

I've never understood why people feel the need to change things not because they're offended, but because they're worried other people might be offended.

the hip have (or have always been) become gangsta.
looks out snoop dog

There is always someone who didnt get attention as a child so they find something to do with their pathetic life later on. Hence, this person complaining about a hip song.

Hmmmm. I wonder what this guy thinks of Marilyn Manson?!
