[QUOTE="klein, post: 798608, member: 23950"] [B][URL='http://www.globaltvedmonton.com/Dire+Straits+deemed+unacceptable+Canada/4103753/story.html'][COLOR=navy]Dire Straits hit deemed unacceptable for Canadian airplay[/COLOR][/URL][/B] Canadian Press: Thursday, January 13, 2011 11:47 AM A gay rights organization is applauding the decision that deemed Dire Straits' 1985 hit "Money for Nothing" unacceptable for Canadian radio. The Canadian Broadcast Standards Council decided on Wednesday that the song violates part of the broadcast industry's code of ethics because the lyrics include the word " :censored:" three times. Egale Canada executive director Helen Kennedy says it's the right decision, given the recent high-profile suicides of teenagers who were the subject of homophobic and transphobic bullying.
