William Shatner apparently determined to argue about "Baby, It's Cold Outside" for rest of 2018
William Shatner, it’s become obvious, is a real stinker. He’s the sort of guy who unironically calls people “snowflakes” and “SJWs” and is eager to point out the “misandry” that plagues our world today. Any fond memories you may have of his music and acting are being chipped away at, bit by bit, with each new tweet issued from his account.
It should come as little surprise, then, that this holiday season, Shatner has devoted himself to the defense of the another cultural institution in danger from those pesky progressives: the creepy Christmas classic, “Baby, It’s Cold Outside.”
Incensed by the CBC’s quickly backtracked decision to stop airing the song this year, Shatner called on his followers to launch a good ol’ fashioned call-in campaign to save the 1944 track from its fate.
He followed up this request with a reminder that not playing the song is tantamount to it being “stricken from history,” just like Orwell described in 1984, a book famous for its vision of a dystopian future where some shitty holiday tunes are not played on the radio anymore.
