..the word "faggot" in its lyrics and is discriminatory to gays.
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.
The council is an independent, non-governmental group created to administer standards established by its members, Canada's private broadcasters. Its membership includes more than 700 private radio and TV stations across the country.
With any luck, every radio station in Canada will agree to raise a single digit to this non Governmental group and play the song every hour on the hour untill this insanity is revoked.
