    I remember when the song came out and the radio version was edited. I don't recall hearing the unedited version on the radio since, so

    Weird. I've heard Killing in the Name of by Rage unedited on the radio (though not on the CBC mind you), so whats the problem CBC?

    This is the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council stating this, not the CBC.

    They do understand that the word was used a criticism, don't they? Or are they accusing Dire Straits of being homophobes?

    They don't care about the context Bart. Somebody complained so it'll get bleeped out.

    What a load of pussies we have become.
