[QUOTE="j'nuh, post: 697226, member: 55446"] I'd be interested to know what victims of domestic abuse feel about the song. If it's a trigger for them, then I'd be sympathetic towards it being banned. I don't think it's offensive as such (it's a narrative that doesn't particularly endorse or glorify the act), but it may be inappropriate. (Just as "Celebration" by Kool and the Gang isn't an offensive song, but inappropriate at a funeral.) I [I]am[/I] annoyed with Jones' justification for the song though (from Guardian): “It’s not a political statement,” Jones told the BBC on Thursday. “This woman us unfaithful to him and [the narrator] just loses it … It’s something that happens in life.” That's a pretty damn blasé attitude to domestic violence, Tom. :p [/QUOTE]
