What's sad is the controversy will make the song more popular with country fans.

Why is this shitty country song being targeted by the news? There are so many other country songs with lyrics like this, and there are plenty even more troubling. Sick of seeing this headline. We’re giving attention to something that doesn’t deserve it, and it sucks.

Community is at its best when it's not making threats!

No, Community is at its best when it's rapping in a hot dog costume.

I mean, when you put it that way, how could I possibly disagree?
