   So the Dire Straits are too offensive for #Canada? http://bit.ly/gdqL6k Really, it's time to ban the Canadian Broadcasts Standards Council.

     @sojyujai They changed the lyrics of that song back in the 80s for that exact reason. Compare the original album version to later releases.

     @fabsh #DavidRovics said a thing or two that describes how I feel about that in his song #PirateRadio. #FuckTheFCC

     @fabsh I have to say I like 'Hang a Flag in the Window' much better than 'The Commons'

     @silner I got into a lot of CC electro in college, and a ton of nerdcore is CC to. Check out #RhymeTorrents

   • silner x1101

     Yeah I was well into Electro. Never really knew any Nerdcore, by that name, like Plunderphonics @x1101 ?

   • x1101 silner

     @silner now that I look back, not all of it is CC, but a lot is FaiBeer

     @fabsh I've never heard altered lyrics for "Money For Nothing". Maybe only in some countries? Anyway censorship it stupid- esp in this case.

     @fabsh: Thanks for the link - I like Knopflers quote. The song's clearly not intended to by homophobic.

     @sojyujai I don't think Sting would have collaborated if it was. He's pretty particular on these things...
