PC nonsense at it's funniest!
Now, those of you mindless liberals that are too young to remember this song when it first came out, or buy into Obama's PC FCC, think of this before you open you mouths and make fools of yourselves:
This song is over 25 years old. And only NOW someone notices the word "faggot" in the song?
Dire Straights is HARDLY right wing.
Dire Straights performed this song to jubilant well-intentioned at at Live Aid in 1985. I don't recall ANY protests of the lyrics in the song, either in London OR in Philadelphia during the concert (and yes, I remember Live-AID).
NOW, all of a sudden, ONE person is "offended" and they will either ban the song off the airwaves or edit the song?
THIS is PC liberalism on steroids, and it's what our FCC will be like very soon if Obama liberals get their way.
Too funny! Too stupid!
Money for Nothing, PC For Free: Canada Bans Dire Straits Classic
This will no doubt perk up some ears over at FCC headquarters in Washington I cant believe this ones slipped by them (and it has because I heard the song on the radio recently in its original form ::gasp::).
From The Spec by way of Reason:
The Canadian Broadcast Standards Council has ruled that Dire Straits 1980s hit Money for Nothing is too offensive for Canadian radio.
The ruling, released Wednesday, was in response to a complaint against St. Johns radio station CHOZ-FM. The listener complained that the word faggot which appears three times in the song is extremely offensive to gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people.
The council is an independent body created by Canadian radio and television broadcasters to review the standards of their content.
