Grease is fun but the underlying message is obviously quite awful . That you should start drinking/smoking/being "a cool kid"/fundamentally change yourself in order to impress and be good enough for someone you fancy a bit. That's not a new thing though. I wouldn't call it "offensive" just a terrible message ... but realistically is anyone influenced by that? Adults can see that for themselves and younger people can see it with a parent or whatever who can have that conversation. I'd argue that it's actually worse to remove the catalyst for these conversations...
