[QUOTE="Babagounj, post: 798774, member: 12952"] Since klein is always promoting that Canada is so much better than the USA, I wonder how he will respond to this..................... The Canadian Broadcast Standards Council has ruled that Dire Straits' 1980s hit for Nothing is too offensive for Canadian . The ruling, released Wednesday, was in response to a complaint against St. John's CHOZ-FM. The listener complained that the word "friend a g g o t "– which appears three times in the song is "extremely offensive" to gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people. It ruled that,"friend a g g o t" when used to describe a homosexual, is "even if entirely or marginally acceptable in earlier days, is no longer so."
