    It hase come to my attention that the perennial seasonal favourite by Dan Fogelberg, Same Aul Langsyne contains the following line:



    "Bought a six pack in the liquor store and drank it in her car"

    Can I now appeal to other fellow concerned righteous people to immediately contact the RSA to demand that this song be banned on the grounds that it recklessly promotes downright careless behaviour.

    Also do not listen to this song whilst operating machinery.

    Surely you mean don't listen to this song whilst operating heavy machinery. Anything less the 5 tonnes should be fine.

    I'd say the line 'Couldn't find an open bar' on Christmas eve could cause people distress also

    Seven Worlds will Collide

    Newer releases with LL Cool J's song The Boomin' System don't contain the lyrics,
    "They say don't drink and drive, I say what is this ? Pass the Heineken and mind your business".

    Political correctness gone bonkers.

    There weren't many cars, six-packs or liquor stores in Robbie Burns' day.

    Yeah it's just a matter of time before someone gets seriously injured - or even killed heaven forbids...

    Someone has to do something!

    Maybe the 6 pack was a Dodge Challenger and drinking it in her car is a metaphor for something else :pac:

    Should you not be down at the church praying to Saint Gaybo?
