The Boobs song: Has anyone mentioned it's vulgar?

[theKed]

29. Context is important

As mentioned above, that is a joke about what not to do at an Oscar show. I suspect the intended meaning misfired relative to what they expected.

The second part of it is exactly what the OP is talking about. Sort of. The notion that movies and the Oscars are High Art, necessitating a sombre reflection on a year of auteurs and thespians. They're entertainment, no more no less. Frequently vulgar, often crass, regularly filled with content that far outstrips Macfarlane's little song. There was no driving need in any movie, really, for nudity - if the producers and directors and actors wanted, they could easily choose not to show breasts on the screen. Not that they *should* do such a thing, but that they chose to, and to be honest why they do it.

And before the cries go up, these actors he sang about didn't need to, either. None of them would suffer if they turned down a role that bared their chests. They are all wealthy, famous, and actively employed beyond the films mentioned.

Maybe he could have executed it better, more plainly, but I don't think it ought to be as rage-inducing as it seems to be.
