Comment (by dawesi):

 I'm putting this ER on my wall for the most PC fix ever.

 Seriously, let's change the lyrics of a copyrighted song? Is that even
 legal? Is the complaint even in line with the original meaning of the
 words?

 Just because you say it should be changed, doesn't mean it should. Sick of
 people with low self esteem putting cotton wool everywhere, how about
 fixing your issues, and self pity, instead of breaking the law by changing
 words to someone elses song to suit your disorder?

 This is the start of the end of Wordpress, bring on the lawyers. (this is
 going to make tech news for sure)
