Haha!! Countries as Simpsons characters, ace!

[Elmyn Noos]

Isn't faggot quite an offensive word for homosexuals though?

 

I must be getting old. I can't keep up.

How long before these are banned? Serious question..

I don't think she was calling him a meatball though in the song.

[RedKnight]

Fuck, I was listening to this on five live in the car and I was going to post a thread on it. Weird.

 

 

Radio 1 just suck that little bit extra after this. So it was inoffensive for the last 18 odd years but now it's offensive.

[gazelle]

Its all bollox - its a con i reckon to get it publicity so that twat from x-factor doesnt get christmas no.1..

[RedKnight]

That would be the greatest conspiracy ever.

[Elmyn Noos]

So let us get this straight - you guys that are against what Radio 1 have done are saying that faggot is an acceptable insult to hurl at someone?

 

Get in! Can I use queer and puff too?

[RedKnight]

It's an insult that's thrown from one lover to another in a song. I don't think it's the same as calling a gay man a faggot.

 

Faggot.

[Cath]

Is it okay for us auld farts who suffer Sarah Kennedy and Wogan on R2 to hear the word "faggot"? And how will R4's PM programme report the story without saying "faggot"?

They replaced it with shit badger.

That's a good point there. Radio 2 play the unaltered version.

I suspect you'll find that some of the more sensitive puffs out there find it quite offensive.

[Gav]

Crazy stuff- its just a lovers insult at a lack of performance due to alcohol excesses .This really is pc madness

 

Fuckit ,at least If i'm being pushed into suicide from hearing this sond excessivly ,at least Im not subjected to a stupid beep in the song

Really? How do they explain that then? Presumably the thinking is that less homosexuals are likely to be listening to Terry Wogan? I beg to differ after his recent appearance on Points of View...

They explain it because it's a editorial decision from Radio 1 not the BBC as a whole and...dear God those are tight trousers.

You're a secret 'points of view' watcher!!! Thats Faggot right there!

I saw a program about them the other day. About the search for the Brains Faggot family to represent faggots for the UK. It was odd. It was amazing to see what people were willing to do to get on telly. Mentalists.

 

That was a BBC program and they said faggot ALL THE TIME.

 

The cunts.

 

[dirty_sanchez]

I didn't realise that Radio 1 was still going. Lucky that its apparently easily offended homosexual audience are keeping it afloat.

[Section_31]

Didn't Moyles get bollocked for calling something gay a couple of months back?

 

"Oh so he equates something being rubbish with a homosexual male does he? Racialist!!!"

 

Fuck him, fuck them, who's next..

I take great offence at this post, I am 28 and love listening to Sarah Kennedy and Terry Wogan, they are to be enjoyed, not suffered.

[Fink]

He's no Eddie Mair like.
