bbc bbc 1 authorities have today reversed their choice to censor the word " faggot " from the 20 century old " fairytale of fresh york " song by the lauper . the official censoring of the song caused controversy recently as the song had been played for 20 years without censoring , and resulted in many users contacting the bbc saying the decision was " absurd " . the ban was also ridiculed for the comment that it only applied to no 1 and not to radio 2 or any other station on the bbc national .
"Fairytale of New York" does not contain the word "faggot".
