BBC reverses Pogues "faggot" ban http://news.yahoo.com/s/n...hFqTq_BwzdNAJpJ4KGlTtiBIF 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.

 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
Cant make it all alone
Ive built my dreams around you |

Karen wanted to see the Trans Siberian Orchestra this year. I like the one tune. We didn't go.

BTW, my avatar (Dustin the Turkey) does a version of Fairytale of New York. Pretty damn funny. Can't find it on video anywhere.  |
