Wanting to know what college students thought of the song, Campus Reform\u2019s Cabot Phillips headed to George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia with a simple question: Is \u2018Baby It\u2019s Cold Outside\u2019 too offensive for today\u2019s culture?<\/p>\n<p>The results were mixed.<\/p>\n<p>Some students said the song needs to be removed from campus at the least, saying \u201cit\u2019s a totally different time now. Some of the lyrics are very suggestive\u2026 it\u2019s unacceptable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Others echoed that sentiment, saying \u201cwe need to change the lyrics,\u201d or \u201cI think it should be removed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Still, others saw the attack on the song as a step too far, with one student blaming the PC police. \u201cI think it\u2019s too PC [politically correct], people are making a big deal out of a song.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another student agreed, saying, \u201coriginally where it started from, it did not have that intent in mind. If you really want to take offense to anything you can go out of your way to find something offensive.\u201d<!-- [donotprint] --><\/p>\n<ul class=\"ppani\">\n<li>A d v e r t i s e m e n t<\/li>\n<li\/><\/ul>\n<p><!-- [\/donotprint] --><\/p>\n<p>What did other students have to say?
