You saw their boobs? Now go fuck yourself.

286. I could see being offended. But I don't think everyone has to be offended.

In the skit, Captain Kirk warns MacFarlane that he's going to be the worst Oscars host ever, in part because he offends a lot of actresses. As an example, Kirk plays the video of the song and dance number. So it wasn't the host MacFarlane singing the song, but the imaginary MacFarlane from Kirk's alternate universe, singing a song acknowledged to be ridiculous.

Maybe you want to argue that that doesn't make it okay, as Davidson states (though she doesn't explain why). But I think that's a debatable point of view as to whether it works as satire or not. I think people could be legitimately offended by it, and I think people could be legitimately not offended, and think it's funny. That doesn't make the latter group bad people.

I understand the perspective that men have less of a right to say what is sexist than women. There is merit to that. I will say, however, that judging from comments on various blogs and social media, many people, including many women, found the song funny, including a number of the actresses mentioned in the song. So it's not necessarily just a male reaction to say that the song wasn't that egregious.
