    I remember Carl Banks telling the story that the Giants used to tell Parcells that he was just like the boss in the video which BTW is one of the great music videos

    Two radio stations plan to not only defy the ban, they're staging hour-long "Money For Nothing" marathons.

    http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news...e a stand like this. To hell with censorship.

    The Canadian Radio Censorship Word Police Council, or whatever they call the organization that told radio stations they couldn't play "Money for Nothing," has lifted the ban.

    They have apparently spent months parsing the word "faggot" and decided that in this particular case it was used "satirically," so it is A OK.
