Labels: oi leave that song alone.

I'm a bouncy, opinionated, messy haired marathon running (!) bibliophile. I wear high heels and have delightful ankles. I'm a devoted drinker. I want a French Bulldog puppy whom I shall call Batman and dress in capes on occasion. I would also like a pug, whom I shall name Mister Woo. He can remain capeless, but I will make sure he wears a diamante collar at all times. Both dogs will submit to repeated snorgling and high pitched squeals that only a dolphin would normally tolerate. I hate Reiki/psychics/mystics/frauds with all my liver. Also, I'm firmly against Jazz and poetry/poems/pomes/ peoms or any of that stuff. I believe in the healing power of ginger.

Yeah, the cheap lousy faggots!!
Right, and if this is supposed to be about 'the gays' being offended-and I doubt it is, how can they take out 'faggot' but Leave 'fairy' in the fucking title. French Gay is right, they're always trying to make 'the gays' looks bad.
I could swear I heard it on the radio today.
BTW I listened to the 'medium' and then tried to switch it off in mid flow and there were two of them spouting off. Nightmare!
The picture of Shane McGowan is scary!!
What could they get to rhyme with maggot?
Is there not at least one other Christmas song that doesn't elicit murderous feelings?
Oh fer feck sake... Should they not just ban that fat irritating twat Moyles as well then for being, well... a fat irritating twat?
It's probably a publicity stunt. Great viral marketing. Everybody is talking about it and wants to hear it, result - more sales. It'll get to No. 1. A cynic, moi?
A Fairy 'tail'. Hmm, how Freudian, Ms Cat. 8-)

We'll get locked in the Baggot?
or if you are the fantastic minstrel that is Ronan "I earn more money in a month than you'll see in a year" Keating
You're tired and you're haggard.
Good man Ronan!
They do this to create an uproar so people can denounce being "politically correct."
I think I speak for scumbags and maggots everywhere, in saying it is highly offensive for our comrades, the cheap lousy faggots, to be disenfranchised in this way.
Eek Docky2, duly noted and amended. In my haste I were proper wrong like.
It's fucking depressing. You do your best in the face of almighty consumerism to retain a little of the spirit of Christmas and now even the BBC are pulling shit like this. It'll get you down. It's not a big thing but it's the steady, little chip chip chipping away at the few remaining authentic sentiments of the season that'll get you down the most. Apparantly talking pretty is more important than actually expressing anything.
I'd understand if I thought this was even half way to a big deal for gays. I'm certain it's not for my own gay friends. If there is a gay person offended by this song, I'd be surprised. There's a whole lot more serious ugliness they have to face every day in the form of indirect, unspoken or snide prejudice against them to bother about a Pogues song. I distinctly half-remember doing a Kirsty to my recently outed gay friend's Shane in front of the patrons of a fancy gay bar in Glasgow. As far as I can recall, the only offence taken was caused by our 6-beers-in tunelessness. That was about 10 years ago which is suddenly depressing too.
Bloody maggots at the BBC, worming their way around popular culture and eating away at the best bits. Do they not understand that these are supposed to be characters singing, like in a book? Idiots!
My gay chums despair at this sort of crap too Sam. 'Ooo iz eet ze speak-ed for? Not for me!' French Gay said earlier. He's embarrassed by it all.
And quite right.
Relax. They rescinded the ban this evening.
Really? Well, I must say, between this and Pamela Anderson Lee Rock Soloman, my bloomin' posts are only getting half a shelf life. Up one minute, ballsed up the next.
But HEY! at least the song is left alone.
"Up one minute, ballsed up the next"
Can I make an erectile disfunction joke? No. Ok then...
As long as it's smutty you can do what you like.
