lux asked: I'm confused. How does someone with such overt liberal feminist principles merely overlook the blatant commodification of women inherent in such lines as the exchange in the chorus "You think that girl is hot? I think I'd rather not... I'll fuck her anyway."
Actually the lyrics makes the use of lego people even funnier. Welcome to my faintly twisted sense of humour. Sorry to confuse you.
lux asked: Or are principles something you can ignore when they're inconvenient?
Now I'm confused. I posted the video because I thought it was funny - quite frankly hilarious - and don't think that it ignores what you take as my principles at all actually...
Maybe I should've posted it with a warning that it might offend some people?
"... the blatant commodification of women inherent ..." -- Had to get my dictionary out to read that comment. lol. Any frequent reader of CK's blog would never accuse him of misogyny. Actually, it would be downright laughable to do so. Or the concept of "convenient principles". This is a person that talks it and walks it.
That being said, he's also not a stuffy academic that cannot see the irony and humor in a LEGO rap video. And the song itself was meant as a joke, having been recorded by a comedian.

I certainly don't *feel* that I have compromised my principles in any way.
