The Language Police Strike Again

The decline and fall of Western Civilization continues apace, courtesy of some weenies busybodies up north:

The Dire Straits song “Money for Nothing” was ruled by the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council to be “extremely offensive” and thus inappropriate for airing on radio or television because it uses an anti-gay slur.

Do there exist people so thin-skinned as to take umbrage at a single word in a 26-year-old pop song? Really?

Anyway, the song’s banned—and the decision cannot be appealed. Coming so soon after the news that Huckleberry Finn is about to be bowdlerized, one can’t help but wonder if certain individuals have far too much time on their hands.
