Thats been a topic of conversation here this week. I'd rather they banned Snoopys Christmas. Some people just need to get a life.
Guess BBC 1 don't play a lot of American Gangster Rap then.

I'm sick and tired of all the snowflakes in society today. So what if it has the words faggot and slut in the lyrics :rolleyes:

I ended up with a weeks ban from Facebook a couple of years ago for using the word faggot..I mean a faggot is a tasty meat treat usually served with mashed potato,gravy and mushy peas, so I don't see a problem.
Now I just use a photo instead of using the word :imrgreen:
There is another one which FB doesn't like either :rofl2:
