You're certainly not alone in your reaction to a lot of this. But where does someone draw an actual useful line? A few years ago I remember a right-wingnut on radio frothing at the mouth because a little girl had stood up and sung "I Want To Be A Cowboy's Sweetheart"; he couldn't have had any more wrath, or manufactured wrath, to bring to bear if she had stood there snarling "Give Me Your Dirty Love".
A local community organisation puts on an annual "capers" show, a hodgepodge of actual talent and goofy skits. When we attended a few years back, a dance class group of girls perhaps 11-12 years old performed. The only thing the routine was missing was the part done on the pole. I sat there wondering if I could be the only person there whose skin was creeping.
