Canada Bans Dire Straits' "Money For Nothing" for Being Too Offensive. No, I'm Not Kidding

Please don't ever tell me that Canada is a
more enlightened country than the U.S. and A.:

The Canadian Broadcast Standards Council has ruled that Dire
Straits' 1980s hit Money for Nothing is too offensive for Canadian
radio.
The ruling, released Wednesday, was in response to a complaint
against St. John's radio station CHOZ-FM. The listener complained
that the word faggot ? which appears three times in the song is
"extremely offensive" to gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender
people.
The council is an independent body created by Canadian radio and
television broadcasters to review the standards of their content.
[...]
The council ruled that the song contravenes its ethics code
which states: "broadcasters shall ensure that their programming
contains no abusive or unduly discriminatory material or comment
which is based on matters of race, national or ethnic origin,
colour, religion, age, sex, sexual orientation, marital status or
physical or mental disability.":
It ruled that "faggot," when used to describe a homosexual, is
"even if entirely or marginally acceptable in earlier days, is no
longer so."

Here's your Canadian samizdat, which if anything should
be banned for animating Sting:

By the Great White North's ape-like logic, there is no end to
songs that Canadians should be protected from. Starting with Randy
Newman's "Rednecks":
