bbc television 1 bosses have today reversed their decision to content the title " faggot " from the 20 date older " fairytale of nova york " song by the pogues . the internal censoring of the song caused controversy today as the line had been performed for 20 years without publicizing , and came in many people contacting the bbc speaking the decision was " ridiculous " . the ban was especially ridiculed for the fact that it only applied to radio 1 and not to media 2 or any other fm on the bbc network .
"Fairytale of New York" does not contain the word "faggot".
