Then They Came for Queen

 Yup.  Not even Queen and Freddie Mercury can escape cancel culture for this song.  The horror. 




Of course, a song about pulling a trigger and "now he's dead" is just fine for kids.

This is more clickbait nonsense.
It’s being withheld from a single music platform targeting children.
And are you really surprised?
Violence in video games has been tolerated for decades but sex was a huge no-no until only very recently.

Gosh gosh gosh, much ado about nothing.

First, I am a fat bottomed woman and I enjoy this song….

No, I don’t think it needs to be on Yoto, a platform for kids birth to 12 yo.

But why are y’all complaining against canceling this song for a younger audience, but are ok with canceling drag queens? Either both are canceled or both are allowed.

Sooo just give your kids the fing song if you just use this yotu app. If you don’t like a businesses product lineup then don’t buy it! Itll disappear if the product sucks you don’t have to whine and post about it on your blog. But I guess that’s how commercials work these days. Upset some snowflakes and all of a sudden your product is being advertised for free on a Jackson, ms blog.

Wasn't a huge Queen fan (pre or post Freddie) but am familiar with a few of their songs, this being one of them. After all of these years, I am just now finding out that "fat bottomed women" were the lyrics to this song. As to the controversy as to what kids should see and hear, nothing surprises me anymore. I would think Yoto (never heard of it) can use any play list that they want. But I agree, there are much worse things that kids are exposed to that defies logic. I have an 8 year old granddaughter and I hope her parents keep a filter on what she can and can not see (the best they can).

Speaking of being cancelled, Roseanne Barr is back and putting out some great videos on YouTube.

When will these liberal do gooders save us from the female bashing, foul language, pro killing, anti-police hip hop and rap songs. My first graders knew the lyrics to some right raunchy songs.

Whether you like the song or not the band was one hell of a group and You can’t deny that. It sure didn’t offend anyone or at least they didn’t seem to be offended for 40+ years. Why all of a sudden has our society gotten to the point where some of us can see or smell a liberal walking down the street these days? What are the censors doing about rap music, you know the music that talks about killing cops, raping women, etc? On another note, I’ve seen skinny girls with big bottoms. They are pear shaped. It’s not a bad thing because everyone is different. It’s what makes us who we are. They weren’t making fun of fat bottomed girls they were pretty much glorifying them. How many times have you been in your car, heard their song and cranked that mother up all the way? I know I have many times. I’m 59 and still do.

@9:06

40 years ago a “fat bottomed girl” was 36x24x36 and today they are disgusting landwhales (like Shadow) who pretend they don’t care what you think. Deep down they know they are absolutely repulsive and they are obsessed with fat acceptance.

Reminder that the other lyrics of the song mentions riding bicycles and so did the original album cover display a beauty with a healthy weight on her bicycle. Imagine an obese gremlin like Shadow trying to ride a bike 🤣

So what? Which one are you, 9:01 or 9:14?

Lighten up guys, KF don't have kids and given the recent repetitive requests for donation, you're all he's got.

9:33 and 12:52…I’m 9:06 poster. Don’t I get a little credit? Just kidding, Anyway, we didn’t give a rats ass that Freddie was gay. Nobody could sing like him and no one still can’t. It’s terrible what the cancel culture is doing to society. Only once in a lifetime a voice like that comes along. Let’s hoist a mug of ale and remember the good days. After all, memories are all that’s left because these days there ain’t no talent.

I think every impressionable suburban preteen girl should be enriched by hearing Anaconda by Niki Minaj.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets.
