Canadians have flipped out now

Last week here in the states it was the 'n' word in Tom Sawyer, this week in Canada, it's Dire Straits.

Nothing like tax dollars going to gov't. agencies to enforce 'political correctness' by re-writing history. In any country. Nuts.

I guess that means if they refer to a straight mans ass in a song we get to retaliate.

Watching on the news last night (I'm in Canada) was pretty funny. They interviewed a gay guy and his comment was "I want to be that little faggot, he's a millionaire with a lear jet"

The guy doing the news report was driving a car listening to the song honking the horn to cover the word

A station in Alberta is going to play the unedited song for an hour straight tonight or tomorrow night in protest (and for publicity I'm sure....)

I guess they'll ban Bob Dylan's "Hurricane" next because he mentions the "n" word.....

Bunch of bullshit, seriously, where do we get to complain about all the whiny bitchy little PC police that are doing this crap? Let's sensor them, I think a little duct tape will work...

Re: Canadians have flipped out now

Wait, wasn't there a line in that song about loadin' refrigerators?

That's another twist. Folks in Canada don't need refrigerators. I love almost all the folks I met in Canda, but they sure don't need refrigerators.

If the PC train gets outta control, pretty soon we'll all be visiting GentlyEngageGearLever.com. BANG is kind of a harsh word. ;)

I'm speaking for Chad on this as well, but, give me BANG or give me death.

Pretty sure when it's 90 degrees and 90% humidity again here next summer, I'll be needing my refrigerator. :D


About the Dire Straits song, half the time when I heard it on the radio they were playing the version that substitutes the word "queenie", which is British slang for faggot of course.
