Now I think of myself as very pro-gay and I’m opposed to bigotry, however I was really taken aback this morning while listening to Dire Straits “Money For Nothing” on a Cable music channel (it was the 80’s channel if you must know) and they chose to totally blur out (not omit, just make electronically funny sounding) every part where they say ‘faggot”. For some reason I’m not down with that. It just kind of ruined the song.
I don’t know what “THE line” is, and I’m sure THAT debate will wage on for years and years. However, I just think we should all be a bit more considerate and a bit less sensitive. Does that make sense?

the line refers to the animated character watching early mtv showing a bad 80’s electropop video video, meaning a video shot on video instead of film….a later requirement by the fledgling network. (not that that made the quality of submitted videos any better…) ok, back to your post…the line is ….” that little faggot with the earring and the make up…something something….
that little faggots got his own jetairplane….that little f***** he’s a millionaire….anyway, I too have always found that song irritating anyway, then added with the slur, it just amplifies its sad age.
and Sting sang back up! so sad…
You come with intrinsic entertainment…i am full of bull….
