Oh Canada - political correctness gone mad

[Migs]

I really don't know what to say about this ...

"Canadian radio stations have been warned to censor the 1985 Dire Straits hit Money for Nothing, after a complaint the lyrics of the Grammy Award-winning song are derogatory to gay men."

Oh My (in my best George Takei voice imitation),
a tied bundle of twigs went and complained and they listened to it instead of setting fire to it as the kindling?

Only in Canuckistan!

That`s Canada`s political system for you. So why don`t they pass a bill secretly like they now seem to have the power to do and take the word right off Canadian search engines.

If i go to Dictionary.com the first meaning for faggot is? http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/faggot

I would have to say the N word is the worst word in the english language yet it is being used now in rap songs and street slang by every race yet we don`t hear an uproar about that as much.

This world is fucked!! Am i allowed to say that??
