Canada Bans "Money for Nothing"

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. John’s 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.

 


Truly a great song, and proof that Canada is not the great enlightened state that some would lead us to believe. The part about the faggot is supposed to be coming out of the mouth of an uneducated laborer pissed off that rock stars make too much money for what they deserve (at the same time, supporting them by watching MTV). Friggin' morons.

Freedom minded Canadians can come here to listen to it as long as I can keep it linked...
