Song is harmless

I RECENTLY saw an article online about the Censorship Office banning a particular song from being played on the radio.
The song in question is titled Paia Wara by a local artist K-Star.
The reason behind this, according to the article, was that there is a particular line in the lyrics that seems to objectify women.
I’ve heard the song and I really don’t think so.
The lyric goes “dring olsem susu bilong mama” (dink like your mother’s breast milk).
The context is, the singer was saying you’ll drink paia wara (homebrew) like it’s your mother’s breast milk.
If you actually sit down and listen to the song, you’ll realise the message the song brings across doesn’t objectify women in the least, or praise alcoholism.
The premise of the song is that, the guy sings about a girl who, after coming home, doesn’t help around the house with chores and would rather go out drinking.
And so the chorus is basically her parents asking her sarcastically “Yu laikim wanem? Paia wara?” (What do you want? Homebrew?).
If discouraging our sisters from alcoholism is a bad message, I don’t know what’s good.
This drastic action came about after a public outcry.
Mind you, this isn’t the first time.
They’ve done the same thing about a song a while back, because of public outcry.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have done anything.
What is going on at the Censorship Office I wonder.
There was another local song titled Nana wan and I swear it’s got paedophilia vibes and it received frequent airplay on local radio stations.
Where was the Censorship Office then?
The office needs to be checked and those with a single digit IQ carrying out these preposterous measures need to be let go.
