The lyrics in question:

The little faggot with the earring and the makeup
Yeah, buddy, that’s his own hair
That little faggot’s got his own jet airplane
That little faggot, he’s a millionaire

Put into context, he's making fun of the hair metal rockers of the 80's, not homosexuals.

Will be blasting this song all the way home after class today on my iPod.

[Idratherbsidewayz]

Now I can't get those faggoty lyrics out of my head!

[Kloubek]

*sigh*. Canada truly IS retarded when it comes to political correctness.

oops... I said retarded....

[Neil4Speed]

That is ridiculous how easily people get offended especially due to the context of how the lyrics were written

That song is amazing though, as with many Dire Straits tracks.

[gretz]

Heard this this morning on the radio...

And not only did they use faggot in the song, they have "strait" in the band name... They should be banned from Canada all together

Great song... it's likely been downloaded more times in the last day than in the last year because of this... Great exposure for this song lol

[GQBalla]

lol guys at work are talkin about this.

i find this so retarded. no such thing as freedom of speech

[Tik-Tok]

Fucking faggots at CBSC

I'm offended Canadian governments get so offended.

[93VR6]

Fuck this, Dire Straits is a beauty, my dad had me listening to this song when I was 5, and it's fantastic!

[JfuckinC]

Haha i'm all for gay rights but fuck come on, whateverrrr. This song is a classic, love it.

[Zephyr]

I thought fags were Harley riders? That's what South Park taught me.

[Benny]

Not that big of a deal. They're just banning the uncensored version. I don't think I've ever even heard the uncensored one on the radio.

Now it's like

"That little mother’s got his own jet airplane
That little mother, he’s a millionaire"


I kinda wish censoring shit like this would just go away though. Adults really shouldn't be offended. I once watched the first Die Hard on TV and there was a string of expletives so long they had to do a double-dub of it. It was like, "Oh geez... Oh shoot".

[Cos]

What a bunch of faggots at CBSC.


How does something written 25 years ago insult people today? It isnt the context at all.

[eglove]

i was wondering why i was hearing this song so much today, haha. everywhere i went people were blasting it

[Unknown303]

Canada only gets more retarded as time goes on.

[ercchry]

someone needs to make one of those raptor things....

if money is no longer for nothing

are the chicks still free?

[heavyD]

Man this country is going down the shitter. It's a fucking song.

Agreed, we have started up a slippery slope and things can only get worse from here.

[sputnik]

Just wait until they start banning every song that refers to a woman as a bitch or a ho.

[03ozwhip]

who in this day and age in and around our age group homo or not is actually offended by a song that they grew up with in the first place? where do they come up with this shit? dont they have anything better to ban like RHD...... just joking just joking.
