BBC ban "Fairytale of New York"

The classic 1987 Christmas hit by British band The Pogues has been cancelled by the snowflakes at the BBC for being "offensive."

Who is offended? It's not an upbeat song but hardly offensive.

I heard McGowan had his teeth fixed.

I heard McGowan had his teeth fixed.

I'm a bit surprised. Its sort of like a pianist having hand surgery. Freddy Mercury refused to correct his overbite as he felt it would affect his singing ability.

I heard McGowan had his teeth fixed.

There was an hour-long documentary on Sky Arts channel about him getting new teeth attached to a titanium frame.

I hope they don't "fix" other icons of the music world, like Tony Iommi's missing chunk of finger of Rita Ora's breasts.

An hour? Did you watch it? Will you ever get that hour back?

No, I didn't watch it, but I know about it.
