Dire Straits ix now branded a homophobic hate group:
It was No. 1 in 1985, but it’s unacceptable for Canadian eyes and ears today.
The Dire Straits song “Money for Nothing” was ruled by the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council to be “extremely offensive” and thus inappropriate for airing because it uses an anti-gay slur. . . .
The Canadian broadcasters’ “Ethics and Equitable Portrayal Code” requires them to “ensure that their programming contains no abusive or unduly discriminatory material or comment which is based on matters of … sexual orientation” among other things. . . .
You know what’s an even more insulting slur? “Canadian.” Where I come from, buddy, them’s fightin’ words. Any faggot in Alabama would kick your ass if you called him a “Canadian.” Well, here’s the hateful guitar riff that’s too rockin’ for you Canadian wussies to handle:
Somebody call Mark Potok at the SPLC. Tell him I played this homophobic anti-Canadian anthem and demand to be denounced for it!
UPDATE: What’s wrong with this headline?
Obviously, it’s redundant to say “Canadian Fags.” Sodomy is their national pastime up there.
UPDATE II: Welcome, Instapundit readers!
UPDATE III: Linked by The Daley Gator, That Mr. Guy’s Blog, Inoperable Terran, The Lonely Conservative, Moose and Squirrel and Da Tech Guy. Thanks!
UPDATE IV: You know who I hate even more than I hate Canadians? Jake Gyllenhaal. Also, Chris Matthews. Southern man don’t need either one of ’em around.
