Todays Youth - Easily Offended ?
The Pogues record Fairytale Of New York has been censored on Radio 1. Apparently the word faggot is deemed to cause offence.
The censorship has not been applied to Radio 2. Given that Radio 1 is generally aimed at a the teenage/college/uni market does this mean that todays youth are easily offended or is it because they pick up on anything not politically correct to create a storm ?

Re: Todays Youth - Easily Offended ?
So where does that leave us with:
For sale only to the over 18s? (If you don't look 21 will you be asked for ID before you can buy them?)

Re: Todays Youth - Easily Offended ?
They have dubbed that on music tv too, tho when released as xmas no 2 in 1987 it was quite fine to play in its entirety & thought nothing of it when nearly 12 back then
 Must be a lot more 'young' cheap lousey faggots available now that get very upset

Re: Todays Youth - Easily Offended ?
it doesn't bother me in the slightest! in my opinion its a song and people should just get over it! its not like its directly aimed at anyone in specific. Its a word for crying out loud! it does my head in! (by the way i'm only 20)

Re: Todays Youth - Easily Offended ?
Can think of a worse lyrically rude song, that the bbc did try to ban unsuccessfully 'relax' by frankie goes to hollywood
The hardest one to play was Eamon's F.... it i dont want u back with 33 expletives & the rebuck song FURB by frankie is 22 expletives tho super furry animals song had record 49 swearies those are the record holders for the top 40. Tho i think the music youth listen to especially rap/r&b have much worser & nasty lyrics than faggots !!

Re: Todays Youth - Easily Offended ?
Lyrics for song & yes kathleen there is a worser word lol
 It was Christmas Eve babe In the drunk tank An old man said to me, won't see another one And then he sang a song The Rare Old Mountain Dew I turned my face away And dreamed about you Got on a lucky one Came in AT eighteen to one I've got a feeling This year's for me and you So Happy Christmas I love you baby I can see a better time When all our dreams come true They've got cars big as bars They've got rivers of gold But the wind goes right through you It's no place for the old When you first took my hand On a cold Christmas Eve You promised me Broadway was waiting for me You were handsome You were pretty Queen of New York City When the band finished playing They howled out for more Sinatra was swinging, All the drunks they were singing We kissed on a corner Then danced through the night The boys of the NYPD choir Were singing "Galway Bay" And the bells were ringing out For Christmas day You're a bum You're a punk You're an old slut on junk Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed You scumbag, you maggot You cheap lousy faggot Happy Christmas your arse I pray God it's our last The boys of the NYPD choir Still singing "Galway Bay" And the bells were ringing out For Christmas day I could have been someone Well so could anyone You took my dreams from me When I first found you I kept them with me babe I put them with my own Can't make it all alone I've built my dreams around you The boys of the NYPD choir Still singing "Galway Bay" And the bells are ringing out For Christmas Day

Re: Todays Youth - Easily Offended ?
BBC NEWS | Entertainment | Radio 1 censors Pogues' Fairytale
They are running a poll on the bbc website - 6365 people have voted 95% say it shouldnt have been edited. I dont understand why theyve done it. Didnt bother them before so why now?

Because there is some pompous git sat in an office at BBC towers who thinks he/she doesn't like the word and wants to make us think they are doing something useful with the rip off they call a licence.
