According to Boing
Boing the classic Christmas ditty "Happy Xmas" By John Lennon
is now protected from the public for being "offensive content." So
what is offensive about it? I have posted this song almost every year since I’ve
had my blog, since 2015.
Now a person has to
sign in and declare they are 18 or older. So why is this? What could be
offensive about this video? The only thing I can tell is that it is some what
anti-war in a time when war is very popular. It is sad commentary that a video
that provides a positive anti-war message is considered “offensive content.” So
here is the video that I have posted year after year with no complaints. –SJ Otto
Robbo sez,
"As is my wont, I post on social media at this time of year John Lennon
& Yoko Ono's Happy Xmas (War Is Over) official YouTube video. It is an
anthem for peace and the end of war. This year it has been labelled as
"inappropriate content" and requires viewers to sign in to confirm
they are 18 years or older. Yes, there are images of war and suffering within
the video - but for cryin' out fuckin' loud, YouTube, it's something that
deserves and should be seen and heard by everyone, all the damned time - such
dumb ass fuckery is going to be the end of our so-called civilization."
