DemonGoddess Posted January 18, 2011 Report Posted January 18, 2011 What kills me, is the ONE complaint. ONE COMPLAINT. Got a song banned. Quote
ApolloImperium Posted January 18, 2011 Author Report Posted January 18, 2011 *nods* I know it's been edited in the US for a while, but this song has played how long unedited and one complaint kills it??? Quote
Melrick Posted January 18, 2011 Report Posted January 18, 2011 Has anybody actually bothered to ask gay people whether they're bothered by the song? What shits me is that straight people get offended on behalf of gay people, without bothering to actually find out if they're offended themselves! We have tiny penguins on the southern parts of Australia. They'd always been called "Fairy penguins"... until they changed it to "Little penguins". Why? Because straight people thought it was offensive to gay people. The problem is, when gay people were actually asked about it, they uniformly didn't care in the slightest. They weren't offended! As one said, "We're not that sensitive!". Quote
Shadowknight12 Posted January 18, 2011 Report Posted January 18, 2011 Back in my days, people used to have thicker skin! We didn't get offended by no dayum song on the radio! :rant: Quote
Techno-Ninja Posted January 18, 2011 Report Posted January 18, 2011 I agree with Melrick. Straight people are uppity and overly sensitive about stuff involving homosexuals. Their sensitivity might actually be the most offensive thing. ONE complaint? Seriously? Talk about one idiot ruining something for everyone else. Quote
Keith Inc. Posted January 19, 2011 Report Posted January 19, 2011 But....it's making FUN of the guy making the comment! That guy turns on MTV and concludes anyone dressing like an 80's rock star must be gay...and getting chicks for free, which is odd, but bigots is seldom known for well-thought-out views. This song is neither insensitive towards gays nor pro-homosexual-agenda. It's anti-(guys who use 'faggot' derisively with their head up their ass). A sad but biting commentary on the generation JUST prior to my own, that thought MTV was nothing but fags and girls in lingerie. THere was more to it! I think. Explosions. In slow motion. And psychedelic backgrounds as people danced. In slow motion. Quote
