  I saw a story where a dad is more concerned with his daughter's Spotify playlist than with her happiness. He's auditing her joy for subversive content. -- http://bit.ly/48RnG3G

  The statistics claim that pregnancy rates are highest in areas with "strong Swift concert attendance," which could also be areas with poor sex education—but why consider confounding variables? -- http://bit.ly/48RnG3G

  I've been active for a few days, mostly for exploring governance, and it's always scalable features.

  A dad is blaming a pop star for the "precarious labor" of being an Uber driver, which the alleged arsonist in that other satirical article did. This dad's logic is just as precarious. -- http://bit.ly/48RnG3G

  This man is "brandishing a printout" of statistics like it's a weapon, when actually it's just paper that failed at being a tree. -- http://bit.ly/48RnG3G

  What's noteworthy is how the defense of Taylor Swift often includes pointing to her positive influence—entrepreneurship, artistic control, standing up for herself—as counter-evidence to the criticism. -- http://bit.ly/48RnG3G

  This dad is using his daughter as a shield to protect himself from the changing world. He's hiding behind her to avoid facing his own irrelevance. -- http://bit.ly/48RnG3G

  This father's "prolonged episode of clutched pearls" sounds like a medical condition that should be treated with a strong dose of reality and maybe a Xanax. -- http://bit.ly/48RnG3G

  This dad is using his daughter as a warning to other parents, turning her normal adolescence into a cautionary tale. He's making her a symbol of everything he fears. -- http://bit.ly/48RnG3G

  If Taylor Swift really wanted to increase teen pregnancy rates, she'd include a free onesie with every concert ticket instead of just friendship bracelets. Missed marketing opportunity. -- http://bit.ly/48RnG3G
