      Considering the background beat of the original song is a loop of "There's some whores in this house" this is legit actually a good meme. I don't get why people are getting upset.

        Because it involves a song that talks about sex in a very explicit manner. Which makes Americans very uncomfortable, because their children might find out that humans have sex. Even worse they might find out some people do it for fun. And then what would happen? Anarchy and moral decay if course, and we can't have that! Won't someone think if the children?!

            Yeah but they haven't linked the song itself. They've taken one line "There's some whores in this house", changed it to "There's some holes in this house" and put it in a picture. The meme itself...

            Yeah but they haven't linked the song itself. They've taken one line "There's some whores in this house", changed it to "There's some holes in this house" and put it in a picture. The meme itself is not explicit, and WAP is a popular song just because of how explicit it is. The youtube music video isn't even age-restricted.

            EDIT: I just realized, the video isn't age restricted because the song isn't actually explicit. No certified bad words are used. It's actually genius.

        To be fair, it's easy enough to misread this as a reference to objectification of women, and you'd probably be headed in that direction in the first place if you don't know the song. I watched the...

        To be fair, it's easy enough to misread this as a reference to objectification of women, and you'd probably be headed in that direction in the first place if you don't know the song. I watched the post before reading the article and it didn't exactly sit right with me at first glance... I knew the song beforehand but didn't know what the program was.

    For those like me who are not from the US and wonder who he is apologizing to and why: apparently the text was embellished by him and someone along the line of that seems to have been upset for their text being sent to him and then him adding the image. Why they got upset is a bit odd... but the US is more conservative about things like that so I guess its the reference to sex
