"I kissed That Dumb song about kissing a girl Goodbye"

There is no way you haven't heard it by now if you listen to mainstream radio:

If not here are some of the lyrics:
"I kissed a girl and I liked it.
I hope my boyfriend don't mind it"

I accidentally woke up to this song a few weeks ago because my alarm was tuned to 104.3 FM and then I couldn't get it out of my head all day! It annoyed me. It is dance-able and has a great beat but made me feel icky that I bet so many girls "heart" it. I wondered if I disliked it because it was talking about a form of infidelity or if it was because it was a girl singing about a girl.
It was all those and more.

Then last night I happened to be walking past a group of women in their early to mid 50's discussing "life" and I tuned in to the woman with the shortest haircut saying:
"It was the most inappropriate thing they could have played at that wedding, I mean, it's a song about a girl who kisses a girl who has a boyfriend and hopes he's okay with that!"

And I thought to myself "Finally!!"

Because I started to wonder if the entire world had forgotten that it's not cool.
On so many levels.

And just because she liked it doesn't mean her BF has too... whatever happened to a good old fashioned punch in the face for antics like that?

Yeah that song is on the radio A LOT. It brought to mind Romans 1 when I heard it, which brought to mind a quote Brian once shared in a sermon: "There but for the grace of God go I."
