[Other Sport] Delilah OUT

[schmunk]

The writers left out the bit 'Lulling Samson to sleep in her lap, Delilah alerted the Philistine rulers who waited in the shadows to capture him. They sheared Samson's hair and, in his newly weakened state, bound him, gouged out his eyes, and forced him to grind grain in the prison at Gaza'. Can't imagine why!

Well, "Gaza" is a bit of a difficult one to rhyme, and the less said about the scansion, the better...

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

No, this is your daily NSC dose of culture wars. Hopefully you checked your common sense in at the door and have been practicing the phrase "it's ridiculous".

where will it end?

 

[Weststander]

Unintentionally, this could be good news for me.

As I loath the song.

Next stop, Sweet Caroline, please let there be something that offends Woke thinking in it.

'So before, they come to break down the door, forgive me PC crew I just had to sing it once more...'

 

[Pavilionaire]

The Welsh Rugby Union has banned 'Delilah' from being sung by a choir at the Principality Stadium.

Why, why, WHY?...

 

[Winker]

It's an odd song really, if you lsten to the lyrics. You won't stop fanss singing it (it will die out naturally in time), but can see the case for not having an official choir belting out a song about extreme domestic violence.

You obviosuly won't stop 'sweet chariot' either but does nobody else think its a bit weird to hear thousands of jolly-yah rugger buggers singing a song asking death to take them as a relief from the misery of slavery?

Oh and while I am at it -'baby it's cold outside' ... how CREEPY is that song?

Just observations - not demanding censorship or 'cancellation' btw. You think all this stuff is fine? Crack on.

Rugger buggers have a version with hand gestures, with each time you sign it, you sing less of the words until you just do the hand gestures in the final version.

At least that's what we did at school many years ago!

Oh glory, glory hallelujah! - let that happen! I'll even volunteer to go woke myself (for the few minutes until the deal's done, anyway!)

Some would argue Romeo and Juliet advocates suicide, will that get pulled next?

Its child porn so probably will be pulled at some point.

 

[Boys 9d]

Is "The Merchant Of Venice" anti-semitic?

 

[The Clamp]

Did you know that these days if you even try and kill your ex-girlfriend they'll throw you in prison.

 

[Lenny Rider]

Is "The Merchant Of Venice" anti-semitic?

Is Oliver Twist the same?

 

[Bold Seagull]

Did you know that these days if you even try and kill your ex-girlfriend they'll throw you in prison.

This is where woke thinking gets you, you can't even attempt to kill your girlfriend these days without someone taking offense.

 

[faoileán]

Presumably Swing Low will be next then?

I hate that flippin'song... there is something particularly nauseating about thousands of affluent Chartered Surveyors and accountants who live in Epsom and Surbiton singing a song revived and popularised by the black Civil Rights movement

 

[Mr Bridger]

Is Oliver Twist the same?

Not sure, but I’ll be reviewing the situation.

 

[MattBackHome]

Romeo & Juliet doesn't advocate suicide.

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

Perhaps they could sing “ Hey Joe” instead?

Oh!
