The 1980s song Money for Nothing by the British rock band Dire Straits has been deemed unacceptable for play on Canadian radio.
In a ruling released Wednesday, the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council says the song contravenes the human rights clauses of the Canadian Association of Broadcasters’ Code of Ethics and Equitable Portrayal Code.
A listener to radio station CHOZ-FM in St. John's, N.L., complained last year that the song includes the word “faggot” in its lyrics and is discriminatory to gays.
The broadcaster argued that the song had been played countless times since its release decades ago and has won music industry awards.
A CBSC panel concluded that the word “faggot,” even if once acceptable, has evolved to become unacceptable in most circumstances.
The panel noted that Money for Nothing would be acceptable for broadcast if suitably edited.

Its a sad example of how the gay and lesbian lobby group have turned
political correctness into legislation to make being anything but being gay
illegal.
It's resulted in a war on men, heterosexual men, depriving them of legal rights
with the end result that now more children in Canada don't have a biological
father as at least a 50% parent in their lives.
The gay and lesbian lobby groups have used their portrayal as victims to
effectively intimidate the rest of society that prefers to have partners not of
the same sex.
It now extends into school text books, and now into which music can be aired in
Canada.
its enough to make you want to puke.
