i was just listening to radio kylie, and the song "money for nothing" by the dire straits came on. as i was reminiscing about the dawn of MTV and music videos, i was shocked to hear some very offensive language in a song that we've all heard so many times. they are as follows:
The little faggot with the earring and the makeup
Yeah buddy, that's his own hair
That little faggot got his own jet airplane
That little faggot he's a millionaireisn't that weird?! the song was written by mark knopfler and sting, of all people.
anyway, i got to googling and you'll never believe it but just YESTERDAY, canada banned the song from radio! how come canada and i have never noticed those lyrics in the 26 years they've been around until just now?
ok, just needed to tell someone about this. thanks for listening.
bonus link : this was the next song on radio kylie.

i remember looking this up about 10 or so years ago wondering if he actually said that. i always thought he was saying it ironically or to make a point - obviously not his own sentiments.
oh john. there was no internet 10 years ago. be real, plz.
this is vomas - 2pz reader and year 2000 internet user.
omg. this is a problem. john's internet-using name is thomas wilhelm, and i'm always falsely accusing him of things you do on the internet.
anyway, haiye vomas! miss you!
