I don't understand why the BBC are bringing up this tired old chestnut once again. Fair enough them opting to censor the word 'faggot' to avoid causing offence to certain individuals, but why do they really need to keep making such a big deal out of it?
Just censor it or don't censor it, and keep it low-key, rather than make a song and dance over it (no pun intended)!!

Sounds like a bit of a publicity stunt to me, most ironic as today is hardly a slow news day in general.

I personally couldn't care less either way as to whether it's censored or not.

What I do find rather ironic is hardly anyone seems to bat an eyelid over the far stronger (and far more frequent) language in a lot of today's rap music and I would bet anyone a tenner that barely anyone would give so much of a damn if say, Eminem used the word 'faggot' in one of his songs in the same derogatory context.

A. A non-story from Aunty Beeb.

B. Double standards (re the latter paragraph).
