Stefunny says (in regard to this site in general, but to my posting of a verse of Baby it's Cold Outside in particular):
This is what Stefunny uses as her proof that the song Baby it's Cold Outside is about rape (from Cracked.com http://www.cracked.com/article_18431_8- ... -rape.html):So lovely when “barely socially acceptable†doesn’t quite make it as the standard of the day. But how can it when your site must contain a pressure valve for the rape references?
For the fucking record, and listen up Stefunny you slandering deceitful piece of gutter refuse: there is no such line about lacing the drink. At that time in history and within that drinking culture, the line they are talking about (Say, what's in this drink) would have been a reference to how strongly the drink has been mixed. And for another thing the drug known as Rohypnol (roofies) wasn't even created until 1972. Dean Martin recorded the song in 1959.No Christmas in a department store is complete without having to listen to Dean Martin croon this tune about four times an hour. It features the kind of saucy banter your parents think is awesome and probably made your mom hot after a few egg nogs back in the day. Sick.
Curiously, however, in Dean's extended efforts to keep his lady friend from leaving him for the night, they slip in the somewhat off putting line in which it's implied that Dean has laced her drink with roofies [JG: there is not such line; at that time in history and within that drnking culture, theline alomst certainly refers to how strongly hthe drink has beeen mixed. Anf for another thing the drug known as Rohypnol wasn;t even created until 1972 and Dean Martin recorded the song in 1959]. Because really, if the weather won't keep her in the house, date rape drugs are the next best step.
In fairness, Deano might just be doping her with rum, although that's not really all that much more honorable considering the entire debate is about whether she should drive home. Perhaps best of all is when she wises up and asks what's in the drink and he glosses over it like it ain't no thang, pointing out that there are no cabs available. So the best case scenario for this holiday gem is essentially: Dean Martin forces himself on a woman with the threat of a DUI and potentially vehicular manslaughter.
And doubley for the fucking record the song is a romance song with a couple playing flirty love and sex courting games. Anyone remember flirting and playing love and sex courting games with your partner? Or has that too moved into room 101.
Jesus.
Here is a Wikipedia article about the song. Now, yes, Wikipedia is not the be-all end-all of evidence, but it's a damn site better than Cracked.com, and Worlds away better than Stefunny InZvanity.

And does anyone, anyone at all on Stefunny's blog say, Hey Steph, that song was recorded before roofies were created, and was about mixing drinks too strong. No of course not. Let's just slander Slyme People 'cause we don't like 'em. That's what real skeptics do.
