Maybe Chris Moyles was to blame for Radio One banning this with his remarks he's made towards Gay people on his show? They got told off by Ofcom with this early in the year?
It's also made people want to download the song which could end up being Crimbo No 1.  |

i noticed kt tunstalls version played today swapped faggot for blaggard!!!!
the whole point of the song is that they are insulting each other. 
i find it amusing that burly chassis can say ass in a song but pinks version has to be edited. isnt that a bit back to front? 
also they have played "who are you" by the who for years and that has an unedited f word!! consistency bbc please!!! 
mind you it did remind me radio 1 was out there still

I'm glad they saw sense in the end though it was probably only because of all the complaints.
It's a shame that all the publicity did not help to get it to Christmas number one instead of the X factor. |
