The most objectional part of the Pink song to me is that fact that the title is actually "U+Ur Hand" or something equally dumb.
I just hate how some songs are not considered objectionable because the artist is socially acceptable for whatever reason. Example: Carrie Underwood (who has a suprising talent at creating songs that I find pretty pathological) and whatever that song is about jacking up the guy's car. Seriously? These are okay morals? Sure some other songs might have a few more crude words thrown in but the morality is not really much more objectionable to me. And yet Underwood is practically revered in some circles...
The pervasive themes in pop culture are kind of scary when you think about it but I'm not a very conservative person in general when it comes to social themes so I don't really know. I'm mostly concerned with the violence and disrespect for humanity that saturates current pop culture. My friends dragged me to "Wanted" (I had no idea what it was) and it was one of the most horrible, horrible things I've ever seen. But it's not just violence, it's the culture of disrespect and callousness as well that pervades entertainment. I was floored at how completely undisturbed people were by it. It was just nothing. I couldn't tolerate that movie, that was way too much.
I don't watch TV that much anymore. I could care less about nudity or other themes that are largely considered "adult" (as opposed to the completely disturbing violence...all right I'll leave it alone). I've changed a lot from recent events but it all just seems so laughably shallow and violence is nothing or even celebrated. Yeah right. The kind of devastation that violence and guns leave in their wake is so unspeakably different from what "Wanted" is trying to sell you. "Real World" is vapid but it's the fighting and self absorbed attitudes displayed on that show that bother me a lot more than the random drunken hook ups.
