Yes
Nuh-uh. The BBC haven't censored it, just Radio 1. The old prudes at Radio 2 are leaving it in!

That is just ridiculous and hysterical all at the same time. :cuckoo:
 
Thanks for clearing that up I thought the line was your a c*** :D
Yep the worlds gone mad on censorship
I used to quite like faggots with dumplings and spuds
Seems we can't eat anything now
:( :D

how many faggots have you chomped on lately? :)

when i saw the story on bbc.co.uk i knew it wouldnt be long before we had a 'political correctness gone mad' thread on TPF. :)

Truth is that there has always been two versions of that song played on the radio. God knows why there is such a fuss about it now.

I think they should blank out the swear words before 9pm. All it does is introduce swear words into mainstream conversation and reduces their impact. It just reduces the impact of swear words and makes them worthless. I love swearing and i dont want my ****ing swearwords to lose their c**ting value!!
 
:eek:WTF
I give up, the whole world has gone mad:shrug:
15 yrs this song has been around, probably one of the best Xmas songs ever and some numpty who only gets let out of his box once every decade decides it's not apt!:annoyed:
Any way rant over, shall go back to my padded cell :runaway:
 
with regards to the word faggot, though, it has changed meaning quite a lot since the song was written. Its gradually moved itself quite high up the offensive words list.
Words and their values do change. It wasnt that long ago that the N word wasnt that offensive, now its up close to the C word.
The C word becomes less offensive and less shocking every day, which is a real shame because i like to reserve that one for the real C***s in this world :)
 
tbh I dont see the fuss. Those words have other meaning in the modern world. Just because it's an old song doesnt mean it should be acceptable in modern times, thats like saying if a christmas song had racism in then it should be left in, because when it was written it wasnt seen as wrong or didnt seem to offend anyone. The BBC has a tight line to walk, and Radio1 obviously thought it was appropriate to broadcast such things to a younger audience.

Its a song ffs! really cant see the problem with what they have done.

Amen
 
Because like all 'censored songs', its ridiculous...I mean, would you paint over 'rude' bits of an old master painting just because a very tiny minority might find those bits offensive? I think not. If the beeb dont like the original words, fine, DON'T PLAY IT!

:bonk::bonk: what a post lol... complaining about censorship and censoring your own post :thinking::nuts::help:

yes i know i know u cant use that word.. just found it bloody funny.
 
Lets hope they ban Mary's Boy Child by Boney M, Merry Christmas Everyone - Shakin' Stevens, Mistletoe And Wine - Cliff Richard , Merry Xmas Everybody - Slade , All I Want for Christmas Is You-Maria Carey, and Stop the b***dy Cavalry -Jonah Lewis

I find them all a lot more offensive than the odd faggot :)

WITH WHITE GLOSS PAINT !!!


I think they would find this more offensive to be honest ! :D

You've got a point certainly but as far as faggots go, not eaten too many lately the old butcher shop that used to sell them has closed down :(

I didn't censor my post "TP" did that for me :D
I guess you missed the point it wasn't a serious post
 
.....and yet Radio 1 spend all day playing that crap RnB, Gansta Rap junk that's out nowadays and that's full of bitches, ho's, and other terms - not to mention half of it you can't understand anyway unless you're from the Bronx or Brixton........ Maybe I'm getting old though, I much prefer a song you can understand when you listen to it....
 
Haha, faggots a food so why take It out when theres no Intention to be offensive?

I think It was the Americans who started using It as an offensive slur, not sure though.
 
The old prunes at Radio 2 are leaving it in!

Corrected to refer more to the word "old" and radio 2 presenters ( well some are quite wrinkly)
 
Heard it on Radio 2 today, in all it's unpc glory :)


The funniest one recently was Christina Aquileras "Candy Man" the beeb played that in it's original form for weeks until someone pointed out what she was actually singing about :lol:
 
Just wait until the maggots get human rights - the scumbags already have more than the rest of us.
 
Good publicity for them - guaranteed No 1 I reckon now :D

Apparently there is a facebook group aimed at getting this song to number 1 for Christmas, its currently No 2 in the download charts, but meethinks its probably going to be another X factor winner. Shame how many of them reach the pinnacle of their career with their first song!!! :thinking:

As for the censorship, why? who are they trying to protect? it beats me!!!

OK, im off my soapbox now! :D
 
I think they should just censor ALL Christmas songs, then we wouldn't have to listen to them anymore.


So heeeeeeeeeeeeere it is merry christmas, everybody's having fun........ :runaway:
 
Radio 1 has just announced a U-turn

Faggot and slut are back
 
See, the power of Talk Photography, one mention on the forums, and hey-presto- a complete U-Turn by the BBC
 
fell about laughing most of today. radio one play said record without FAGGOT . then EVERY SINGLE NEWS BULLETIN ON RADIO ONE all day mentions the fact that radio one have removed the word FAGGOT from said record . cos it might offend people. plonkers.:cuckoo:
i dont know about you, but i can pretty much sing along to it , word for word.EVERYBODY knows the word they removed .
now removing outright swearwords, ok. but the beeb are getting a bit too pc.
and werent RADIO TWO , playing it unedited?. :woot:
 
"ho ho f****** ho " is my all time fav christmas tune :lol:
look up kevin bloody wilson on youtube or somewhere. not for the sensitive among you.:eek:

:lol::lol:
Oi Santa, where's my f****n bike:D
 
:shake: I'm so glad I don't listen to Radio 1 :shake: How sad, so sad. :bang:
