Fairytale of New York?

Just stemming from a post in the McGregor thread. Is it just a matter of time until the above song is edited as it is now offensive? I know ronan keating covered it a few years ago and changed the word.

Good luck getting Shane MacGowan to re-record that line.

They should of banned Ronan Keating from singing that song outright....

I'm sure Buzzfeed and The Guardian will milk it for a few articles.

In addition, Chris Rea is off the list owing to driving's environmental impact. He could have easily stayed home and skyped his parents/family, or taken public transport.

I hate this song with an inherent passion. It literally fills me with rage.

Probably will - for some reason a fictional character using an offensive word in a song is not as accepted as one using it on TV or in a book. Lots of Shakespeare should be banned and most of The Wire dialogue bleeped out if other art forms were treated the same. It is an offensive word but the character in the song is not supposed to be Miss. Nice.

Smoking cigarrettes in the video. Down with that sort of thing.

Wait until they realise "Let It Snow x3" is based on the same premise!

Louise O Neill was complaining about that last year saying it promoted rape. I'm sure she'll find something new to get offended about this Christmas.

Thanks, I stand corrected. As you say, something else will take its place.
