bbc media 1 editors have today reversed their agreement to restrict the line " faggot " from the 20 year old " fairytale of new york " song by the pogues . the initial censoring of the song caused problems quickly as the music had been played for 20 years after censoring , and resulting in numerous people contacting the cbc thinking the decision was " outrageous " . the ban was also belittled for the fact that it only came to radio 1 and not to radio 2 or any other unit on the us label .
"Fairytale of New York" does not contain the word "faggot".
