The classic tune “Money for Nothing” by Dire Straits has been deemed unacceptable for play on Canadian radio by the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council because of the word faggot. Ridiculous. Of course it is an offensive word but consider the context it is used in. This is as moronic as replacing the so-called “N-word” in Huckleberry Finn with “slave” of all words. The Daily Show treats it with the scorn it deserves.
I’ll listen to that fantastic guitar riff any chance I have, so, presenting the groundbreaking video:
