More looniness from our freinds in the Great White North. There has been significant number of homosexuals in the music/entertainment biz since time immemorial. I don't recall Elton John, the late Dusty Springfeild, even the whiny one Michael Stipe or any of Mark Knoppfler's gay colleagues EVER complain about this song.

I’m curious about their position on rap lyrics and slurs toward women.

Political correctness is one of the few movements that reduce the words available in any given language.

Find these people, isolate them, lock them in a room,and force them to listen to rap crap until death.

If you listen to the lyrics, the “character” using the slur in the song is the point of ridicule of the song. This is like banning Hucklebrry Finn because it has the N word.

Mark Knoplfer's solo song A Night In Summer Long Ago has some pretty violent imagery, and Brothers in Arms references weapons in the title.

This guy needs to be locked up 'til he gets his mind right.

Maybe they should edit it to:
The little man that sticks his penis into another man's rectum
The little man he's a millionaire

That would satisfy the gay community I bet...

I wonder if they’ll play “Les Boys” from ‘Making Movies’

les boys do cabaret
les boys are glad to be gay
they’re not afraid now
disco bar in germany
les boys are glad to be
upon parade now

les boys got leather straps
les boys got ss caps
but they got no gun now
get dressed up get a little risque
got to do a little s & m these days
it’s all in fun now

les boys come on again
for the high class whores
and the businessmen
who drive in their mercedes benz
to a disco bar in old munchen

they get the jokes that the d.j. makes
they get nervous and they make mistakes
they’re bad for business
some tourists take a photograph
les boys don’t get one lough
he says they’re useless

late at night when they’ve gone away
les boys dream of jean genet
high heel shoes and a black berret
and the posters on the wall that say
les boys do cabaret
les boys are glad to be gay

Amazing how it is always conservatives that get tagged with the "censorship" label yet liberals attempt censorship all the time. Whether it is re-writing Mark Twain books, banning certain words or stickering record albums with parental advisories (Tipper Gore), you can bet a liberal is behind it.

"Money For Nothing" is actually one of my least favorite Dire Straits songs but guess what, I'm going to download it off iTunes when I get home tonight.

Got to move those refrigerators...got to move those color TVs!

And it only took 30 years. Did the offended send it’s request thorough the Canadian health care system?

LOL. The song features PC poster boy Sting on some of the lyrics.

I saw the video on VH-1 Classic a week or two ago and didn’t even pay attention to if it had been PC sanitized.

The animated music video is what made “Money For Nothing” such a hit back in the 1980s and the half-shaven cigar-chomping loading dock guy is actually an object of derision in the song, which the video makes clear.

The loading dock guy is working in an appliance store and mocking the wealthy rock musician in the video:

“That little faggot with the earring and the makeup
Yeah, buddy, that’s his own hair...”

I miss the creative music videos of the 1980s back when MTV and VH1 actually played them instead of the garbage they show now. Some of the videos were more interesting than the music and some of them just grabbed your attention but some of them actually visualized the message behind the lyrics so you understood the song better and appreciated it more.

What a bunch of faggots. They probably wear earrings and makeup. I’m also sure that’s their own hair.

Actully, I’ve been wondering for years when this would happen to Money for Nothing simply because they were using the word ‘faggot’. I’m just surprised it was Canada and not the US for bending over to gay demands.
