First things first: Faggot, Faggot, Faggot. Take that you silly censors!
The ridiculous ruling by the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council to ban the original version of Dire Strait's hit song 'Money for Nothing' is part of a very disturbing trend this week. It follows a decision earlier this week by the Saskatchewan Court of Appeal that concluded marriage commissioners have no right to refuse to marry same sex couples.
In neither case are the rights of homosexuals harmed or challenged, but in both cases the rights of others are seriously threatened. Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Conscience are fundamental to democracy, both have been harmed this week.
Fortunately, many Canadians are willing to stand up to the censorship decision. Q104 Halifax and K97 Edmonton are both publicly defying the ruling by playing the song, in their report, the Toronto Sun helpfully published contact information to complain to the CBSC. Anyone can contact the CBSC national chair Ronald Cohen at ron.cohen@cbsc.ca or 1 (866) 696-4718. I definitely plan on doing that, but I wish it were as easy to fight the Saskatchewan decision on conscience rights, because I think that's more serious.
In the meantime here's the unedited version of the song
and the offending lyrics:
See the little faggot with the earring and the makeup
Yeah buddy that's his own hair
That little faggot got his own jet airplane
That little faggot he's a millionaire

The gay lobby are using these governmental bodies to attack anyone they don't like. And our governments both federal and provincial are just fine with it.
Regarding Pissed Off's link, the next time the guy has trouble with his "faggot" neibours, he shouldn't say a thing. Be quiet and cunning and make certain some serious and mysterios "bad luck" and misfortune fall on them.
Let them run to every lawyer in the world. It won't matter.
