I think it is a good parody of the state of a lot of popular music today. You can take someone with no talent and who can't sing, run their voice through an autotuner, add a beat, and voila - you've got a hit.
As for sex and violence sprouting up in popular music - it's been there all along. Does anyone think that Mick Jagger was talking about a car in "Start me Up"? Or he was baking gingerbread with "Brown Sugar"? Even Robert Johnson sang the blues about banging and beating his lady.
If a parody song about a funny, odd, and charismatic guy's interview on TV is off limits, so should most of the music played. The fact that this guy was talking that way about a serious subject in the attempted(?) rape of his sister makes the song/joke/meme even more funny because reality is often funnier than fiction.
