BBC Radio 1 has decided to dub the "faggot" out of The Pogues' Fairytale of New York. Apparently they wish to avoid causing offence.
I'm offended that they think someone could find this offensive. I find it offensive that a song that's been enjoyed in its entirety for 20 years should suddenly be so affronted. Still, if it keeps "faggot" out of the mouthes of children then it's all worth it.
I could have done without the scary picture of MacGowan though.
