| You beat me to it. I would say unbelieveable , but it isnt. We will soon have to stand motionless and snot speak to anyone about anything in this country , for fear of insulting them in some way. |

So the Faggot at the end of the article reckons that the BBC are less tolerant to Gays than they are to Racism!!!
In this world these days I find myself as a Hetrosexual, Adult, Caucasian, English Speaking, Non-Divorced, Non-Parent, Non-Drug Addict in the minority, I'm not saying that certain groups do not deserve the rights of everyone else but these rights should be the same as everyone else and not at the expense (financial or otherwise) Where is my councilling? my support groups? my handouts?
Equality should mean Equal!!
btw, When did it become fashionable to swear in the media, I find Arse, Cock & Dick are being used with alarming frequency these days.

Edited version....
Fairytale of New York (Gay, The word Fairy is deeply offensive)
It was christmas eve babe (Sexist and offence to other religions)
In the drunk tank (offence to Alcoholics & Rehabilitating Criminals)
An old man said to me, wont see another one (Ageist and offence to Blind)
And then he sang a song
The rare old mountain dew
I turned my face away
And dreamed about you
Got on a lucky one
Came in eighteen to one (offence to Gambling addicts)
Ive got a feeling
This years for me and you
So happy christmas (offence to other Religions)
I love you baby (Sexist)
I can see a better time (offence to Blind)
When all our dreams come true
Theyve got cars big as bars (offence to Alcoholics and Ecologicists)
They've got rivers of gold (offence to the Poor)
But the wind goes right through you
Its no place for the old (Ageist)
When you first took my hand
On a cold christmas eve (offence to other Religions)
You promised me
Broadway was waiting for me
You were handsome (Sexist)
You were pretty (Sexist)
Queen of new york city (Offensive to Gay)
When the band finished playing
They howled out for more
Sinatra was swinging, (offence to "alternative lifestylers")
All the drunks they were singing (Alcoholics)
We kissed on a corner (Sex)
Then danced through the night (offensive to disabled)
The boys of the nypd choir
Were singing galway bay (Racist against the Irish)
And the bells were ringing out (offensive to the Deaf)
For christmas day (Offensive to Other Religions)
Youre a bum (Gays, Sex, Homeless)
Youre a punk
Youre an old slut on junk (Sexist and offensive to Drug Addicts)
Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed (Insensitive)
You scumbag, you maggot (bad language and Insectist)
You cheap lousy faggot (Poor, Gay)
Happy christmas your arse (Other Religions, Gay, Bad Language)
I pray God its our last (Other Religions)
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 (sexist)
I put them with my own
Cant make it all alone (Homeless & Depression Sufferers)
Ive built my dreams around you |

The most ridiculous aspect of that ban was the fact that it's taken 20 years to reach the decision. The song's been around that long, and nobody's paid it the least bit of attention til now. Which makes the whole thing so damn hypocritical. Glad to hear they've reversed it. That song is an institution and shouldn't be tampered with.

I only noticed today that immediately after the "You scumbag, you maggot, you cheap lousy faggot" line, it goes "Happy Christmas yer arse". And this line made it on every news show around yesterday
Genius
You'd think they'd be like "Has anyone noticed we've left the word 'ARSE'" in there? |

Next thing we won't be able to drink shorts anymore as it will be offensive to the vertically challenged.
