That was the point in the Oscars show when I shut off the TV and took up my Kindle to do some reading. For me, it was just another in a lame series of attempts at humor at the Academy Awards shows.
Lameness? The Oscars haz it.
So, Oscar advertisers: I didn't see your ads. Misogyny doesn't sell. Write that down.

But no, I'm not seeing what your problem is with the song. I think he was trying to satirize the frat-boy demographic.

(2,282 posts)have a song titled "We saw your dick"? I'm not holding my breath.

(6,287 posts)that would probably be a much shorter song. Never understood that discrepancy.
As for "We Saw Your Boobs," I saw it and thought it was pretty funny. I'm a pretty staunch SMF fan though. The guy is really talented in so many ways. A modern day Rich Little voice master that can sing remarkably well.
I heard an interview with him on NPR where he plugged his album "Music is Better Than Words." http://www.amazon.com/Music-Is-Better-Than-Words/dp/B004T5IW2K
The guy is certainly rough around the edges with his comedy, but he's not the first edgy comic, nor will he be the last.
