Political Correctness Gone Mad Again

According to a friend years ago, the reason we hear the same Christmas songs over and over in a loop when we go in to shops is because they are told to play songs with no religious connection to them.

Well if your friend said it, it must be true.

I mean I heard Cliff Richard on in one of the shops the other day, I think it was Clintons actually. That says "Children singing Christian Rhymes"

Can't say i've noticed, but nothing to do with all the religious Christmas songs being a bit boring then?

I can't name the exact songs that was on repeat loop but I do remember it was always the same songs over and over. I think there was only about 5 songs that was more about Christmas, I guess songs like "Rudolph the red nosed reindeer" could be one song with no Christian connection.
 
Your mate is talking ********. I can't walk through a shopping center without hear the standard boring Christmas songs like 'Silent night'. Luckily the times are a changing and it just isn't as fashionable for modern artists to keep pumping out these overplayed songs.

Nothing to do with being PC and more to do with what people want to relate to. Guess what gets people more in the mood when shopping, songs about your saviour Jesus Christ or songs about Santa, partying, staying in with your partner...
 
Silent night is definitely religious, as is Noel, Away in a manger, God rest ye merry gentlemen, o come all ye faithful etc. There’s bare religious Christmas songs played in shops.

Your friend, to be blunt is an idiot, and I suspect you've not worked in retail recently or spent much time shopping in bricks and mortar stores.

Different shops may choose different styles of Christmas songs* to suit the store's image (IE more rock/pop in some, more classical ones in others), but a quick walk through a few stores from about the start of November will fairly quickly disprove his idea.
As has been said many of the popular ones have very definitely religious roots in the lyrics, but a lot of the more modern ones are more "rocking around the christmas tree" type ones;)

Basically the same way they choose instore music for any other time of the year (when some stores might be more prone to abba, kylie and the carpenters, whilst others are more rap/rock).



*Or more likely a different set of "the best christmas songs eva" CD' so a store that caters to older people might have a more sedate/choral song selection, whilst a store that caters to kids might have more Rudolph, and one that is "hip" or for the young adults/teens more upbeat faster tempo.
 
Walking around Tesco on the weekend and it just sounded like they had Now That's What I Call Christmas on loop.

I declare that I have the authority to speak for all Welsh people (who are all the same group identity) and state that this is disgusting hate speech cultural appropriation evil. Burn the witches!

Am I doing the fashionable authoritarian bigotry right?

Take for example this feminist outfit masquerading as a sports charity who called for F1 to follow the darts.. . (after the later caved in only when the Broadcasters started applying pressure in turn they themselves were under)

It seems grid girls are back now, it's funny, scantily clad women were inappropriate previously but now scantily clad "women" are totally fine for some reason:

Does this have an actual credible source, or is this just some twitter nonsense again?

Its certainly an interesting spectacle seeing a lot of the same people who were dead against (adult female) 'grid girls' and their like in other sports circa 2018 not telling us in 2023 that its really important that men dressed in often revealing clothes must not only be accepted but celebrated and centred in society but also that its imperative that they read/ dance in front of (young) children as well.




This may appear confusing to many if you still think that kicking those 'grid girls' out of sports really was really about female empowerment...




Who imagines that female actually are more empowered, in places like the UK in 2023 vs 2018?

What do we have? The rise of things like Onlyfans, females routinely referred to by health care providers only in reference to their body part and ever increasingly reduced to a sub class in their own orgs and spaces by interlopers.

There are not even words that can be used to describe human females (whilst clear you are not including any other things that don't belong) without be accused of one of those 'phobia's'



The common theme through all of these 'social movements' is a political ideology and the individual battles don't fought by these different movements don't have to be consistent, in deed it often helps the political ideology if they are diametrically opposed because the overriding goal of the ideology is to cause chaos via the destabilisation of society, the destruction of societal norms and there replacement with a radical and often quickly changing dictats

Just look at the bloody state of them, good grief, and we sent missionaries to Africa to end up with these on our own doorsteps <LOL>

I'd give 'em a ten minute survival rate on a Saturday night in Cairo ;)
