Dire Straits

[RaymondV]

I wonder how many times that this song has been played in Canada in the 25 years since it has come out?
And now all of a sudden it is offensive?
Some people have nothing better to do than worry about crap like this.
Here is an idea...don't listen to the song!!!



Dire Straits' 'Money for Nothing' Deemed Offensive In Canada, Can't Air - FoxNews.com

maybe the UK should stop calling cigarettes by another name too!!!

[Drunkenclam]

They haven't played that version here for years. Even on the money for nothing album. The whole verse is taken out. It's PC gone mad

The Pogees fairytale of new York has the same word. There was uproar a few years back when BBC radio 1 tried to edit it.

I'm hungry now. So I'm going to go to the butcher's and buy some faggots.

I applaud the Canadian effort to provide a haven of safety for the ears of the less fortunate people of the world who have been left without the ability to tell the difference between an innie from an outie.

As a matter of fact, I think they all should move there in support of the Canada!

Dire Straits are to bring out a new album soon.
With Chris rea.
Can't think what this new band might be called ?
