I remember when the song came out and the radio version was edited. I don't recall hearing the unedited version on the radio since, so

This is the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council stating this, not the CBC.

They do understand that the word was used a criticism, don't they? Or are they accusing Dire Straits of being homophobes?

They don't care about the context Bart. Somebody complained so it'll get bleeped out.

What a load of pussies we have become.
