I loved the societal values bit. A crazy mad world we live in

There is much worse said on TV these days. People need to get a grip and have a reality check!!
 
Political correctness run amuck, again. What are you gonna do? Someone always knows whats best for the rest of us. Censorship rules!:rolleyes: -- Al
 
You guys obviously have the same article in your constitution that we have in ours, defining the right not to be offended.

Prost!

My question is, have Canadian music stations really been playing this for twenty odd years and now cannot?

Maybe they shouldn't go shopping over here, a faggot is a very old English recipe for a kind of meatball! Some people just like to be offended.

So true. I think it is also a term for cigarettes and a bundle of wood, like kindling. -- Al
 
This constant nannying is becoming serious. Everyone and everything must now have "rights" and to contravene these is likely to be accused of being an "ist" practicing "isms". If you tell an Irish or Jewish joke you are accused of being a racist and practicing racism. A Senior Citizen joke and you are ageist, a man telling a joke about females, sexist, ( although strangely not if a female tells a joke about men.) God help you if you smoke, not only forbidden in enclosed buildings but now even in some designated areas in the open. At the last London show smokers were herded into a particular corner of the courtyard. Next it will be the badges, and then the camps. If you are overweight you are obese and doctors will refuse to operate on you. If you enjoy anything The Great Nanny will be sure to find some reason why it is bad for you. The Great Nanny is omnipotent and determined to create a new one thousand year regime. Gentlemen, there is only one way we can overcome this monster. We have to take out a contract on Mary Poppins.

Is Mary Poppins the true danger here or is it a behind the scenes Bert, the mysterious Mr. Nice Guy? -- Al
 
I don't know if heard radio 2 the other day. Because that poor girl was found murdered on Christmas day, the police rightly in my opinion, warned young women in the area to be careful. Wouldn't you know it up pops a "womens rights" campaigner and says it's terrible that the police should be "scareing" women from the streets and that they have the "right to walk around in the dark by themselves"! She just didn't get it. Someone said "I've got the right to walk up to a tiger covered in bacon, but I'd be bloody stupid to do so":D

Too bad as in context of the song, the guy saying the word is a jerk, jealous of the "f*****'s" success.

Gays are usually portrayed in books and movies as villains or comic characters. I can see where real gays with more political and economic power today and less fear of being known as gay would speak up. In this case it's extreme because of the context of the song.

I was just watching the restored version of Spartacus with the "snails and oysters" scene.:eek:
 
To be tired is to be Fagged out and in Flashman, he roasted Fags at Rugby School.

There have been a number of recent suicides by bullied gay teenagers and this may be the cause of this misplaced ban. Maybe fans of the song and the band should speak up. I have heard in Canada a strongly worded letter to the editor is the custom.

Imagine if these enthusiasts used their energy to do something that was worthwhile and actually did some serious good in the world, like hunger, poverty, homelessness, orphaned children, the sick, the elderly.

There's that as well. I give blood once in a while. How about a pint for Dire Straits?
