Get over "the little faggot" already,

"Money for Nothing", by Dire Straits has been banned from Canadian airwaves because someone filled a complaint against the song. They though the word Faggot was offensive. I wish to politely state my opinion on this recent event. BULLSHIT, this is absolute BULLSHIT. This is censorship because some oversensitive Newfie filed a complaint to the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council. This is absolute bullshit.

The word appears 3 times in the song, which is awful. This must mean that the band Dire Straits must really hate homosexuals. I bet they go to anti-gay rallies. Sure shameful acts. In fact, we should analyse these words right now so see how horrible the homosexual community is being portrayed in this song.

First time we see the word appear in the lyric. "See the little faggot with the earring and the make-up". See him? the band is point him out, so we have to look at the guy (are there women faggots?)  This is awful, were pointing him out, and that he even has makeup and an earing. Just like Chris Crocker. This is awful. Shame on you Dire Straits. It even gets worse in the next line. "Yeah buddy that's his own hair" NOW THEY'RE MAKING FUN OF HIS HAIR!!!!! Not the fair. That's terrible. DAMN YOU TO HELL for making fun of the faggot's hair Dire Straits.

The next time the word appears in the line "That little faggot got his own jet airplane". OH MY GOD !!!! The faggot owns a multi-million dollar airplane. What's next? Will Dire Straits be killing babies, and puppies? DAMN YOU TO HELL Dire Straits.

It even gets worse in the final line."That little faggot he's millionaire". He's a millionaire? How are you say that he has millions of dollars. THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!! How can you sleep at night you godless bastards. Shame on you Dire Straits. Shame Shame Shame.

Needless to say, I think this whole thing is bullshit and I'm not the only one. There's even a radio station in Edmonton that is going to defy the ban this weekend. I say all the power to you K97.

What really bothers me, is that I bet you any money that if some art gallery were to ban some art, this little weasel would be one of the first people up in arms. It's even worse when real life imitates a Simpsons episode where Marge gets Itchy and Scratchy Banned. Life imitating art.

One last thing, what's Elton John's opinion on this? I really want to know.

I've listened to that song so many times and never even noticed - shame on me. How old is it? Times have changed
