So: harm vs hurt? That is: has anyone ever been physically harmed by the playing of this song, or is this yet another example of hurt feelings trumping common sense?
It may be classic rock but the song Money for Nothing by Dire Straits will either have to be edited or not played in its original form after a decision by the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council.
After a complaint from a listener to OZ-FM in Newfoundland who heard the song at 9:15 at night, the CBSC ruled that Money for Nothing, a radio staple since 1985, violates the code of ethics on several fronts due to the use of the word “faggot.”
