Amen.

A free market economy has a way to taking care of these things.  If he
was unpopular, he wouldn't be out making money.  Someone finds him funny,
and as such, he is provided a place to give this humor.  Passive protest
doesn't solve much of anything.  The only people that see you protesting
don't care.  ;-)

Good luck, REAL MEN ... you'll need it.  A phrase comes to mind:  "I may
not agree with what you say, but I'll defend with my life your right to
say it."  Aside from that ... what makes you think that listening to
Dice makes men beat women?  You should probably show cause and effect.
