Re: Faggot
Hovis,
Please do not use such offensive language on this forum. I am, of course, referring to the H**** word in your avatar. |

Re: Faggot
PC ********! Grrrr!
So what if faggot offends some folks, in the context of the song it is meant as an insult and therefore offensive. I never listen to purile radio 1 anyway

Re: Faggot
Brilliant bit of PR for the record though.
I bet the record company complained to the thought police about themselves.

Re: Faggot
 very amusing, gotta love it when stuff like this comes on the radio. There was a time when crap like this was only in the papers and on the radio on April 1st |

Re: Faggot
As if it's not bad enough that I'm forced to listen to the drivel that is Radio 1 at work, they now go completely beyond all bounds of common sense and censor one of the best Christmas songs ever.
What a bunch of faggots!

Re: Faggot
The decision has just been reversed.They are now going to play the original version as the general derision from the Great British Public has forced someone to see sense.
Still a great PR coup for the record though.

Re: Faggot
They've de-censored it now.
Having generated enough publicity presumably... |
