Olivers Army Censored!

[Roland]

I have just been listening to Oliver's Army by Elvis Costello on the radio and noticed that the word 'nigger' had been erased from the song!

There's a lot of it about - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-27366798 .

In the Dambusters remake, the dog will be called Digger.

What we need now is an expert!

No matter how unpleasant it is we shouldn't impose todays sensibilities retrospectively.

How Queer

Teenage Dirtbag by Wheatus contains the line "Her boyfriend's a dick, he brings his gun to school"

Over here all the radio stations censored the word 'dick', so it was a surprise when I moved to Australia an discovered over there 'dick' was fine but 'gun' needed to be beeped out.

On a US Gangnam parody video, the word 'sexy' was beeped out.....

I don't recall anybody bothering about this one.

Possibly because it gets just about everybody..?
