Excuse me Brer Rabbit
I marvel exceedingly at your clear implication that Larry's song has 'dehumanised' someone!! We all find bestiality and inhumanity in the story it tells. Did Larry put it there? Perhaps Goya was guilty of dehumanising Napoleon's troops when he painted their obscene crimes?
Oops, I'm sounding passionate [for the moment]. If you're right passion will pass and I'll soon suffer activist burn-out and Larry will too.
On the other hand it's just possible that those who see the agonies of humanity will continue tiring you out with their immortal outrage. And spit your bridle out.
