Much better.
Well played, Sir.
Ah. Nope, it's a man, man.
Don't know why you should hate Ke$ha?

To be fair, just about any sort of music, played constantly, can become unbearable. Anyone who has ever had to work in a retail outlet during the holidays knows just how oppressive nonstop Christmas carols can be.
It's been over thirty years since I bussed tables in the Sea-Tac Airport, but I never need to hear "The Little Drummer Boy" again . . ..
is there any other kind?

Here's an alternative view about Kesha from a white dude:

But white people are what's wrong with the world, don't you know? Every evil committed is been from some white guy. Get rid of whitey, problem solved. That's the point!
Anyhow the guy did an epic whine on a song he could easily have changed the station from. I'm not reading 8 pages to see if someone pointed out this obvious alternative to listening to an undesiriable song. The kicker is the Palin 2012 at the end of that whine-a-thon. I didn't read past the first quarter if that. I simply scrolled (and scrolled, and scrolled) to the end.
Once I realized just how irrelevant this guy's opinion and how biased it was towards anything not in his limited scope of approval I quit reading it. Normally I'd at least finish reading someone's differing opinion before deciding if it was worth reading or not but in this case it was a no-brainer. The guy's rant was more a closet excuse to whine about other things. From the subsequent responses in this thread, I can see I was right.

I wouldn't call teens shallow. Teens mostly aren't capable of being anything at that stage for long periods of time. Their minds are so much in upheaval and indecisiveness they go for stuff that appeals to them at a given point in time.
The song is simple, it's got a decent beat and catchy lyrics. It's not the next great thing but then few songs are. It's just immensely popular right now. Look at any previous year going back to before you were born and look at the songs that were popular then. Chances are a good many would fit this catagory too. Flashy, empty but entertaining. Not everything must be deep with significance or importance.

Because of my experience with store soundtrack Christmas Music, I feel I can say without a doubt that Wonderful Christmas Time is the worst song of all time.

Ditto. Thanks to retail work and Christmas experiences, I could go the rest of my life without hearing that song. If they took the song and destroyed every copy of it, I would not shed a single tear.
I would participate in the process
Because I am evil ( and a Beatles fan) I used to torture my employees with that one. Worse for them was "Everywhere It's Christmas" from one of the Beatles Christmas messages to their fans. It was good to be the "King"
