Title: It was Christmas eve, babe....in the drunk tank Post by: dystopia on December 18, 2007, 02:24:15 PM BBC reverses Pogues "faggot" ban
http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20071218/od_uk_nm/oukoe_uk_britain_pogues;_ylt=AryhFqTq_BwzdNAJpJ4KGlTtiBIF Quote LONDON (Reuters) - A boss at BBC Radio reversed on Tuesday a decision to cut the word "faggot" from a Christmas hit after the mother of the singer branded the move "ridiculous". In "Fairytale of New York", released 20 years ago by the Irish band the Pogues and the late Kirsty MacColl, she sings "You scumbag, you maggot/You cheap lousy faggot". BBC bosses decided to edit the word "faggot" each time the song was played because it was offensive to some of their audience. But they backed down after MacColl's mother and hundreds of fans complained. (more...)
