Silvio Berlusconi is perhaps the slimiest git in the world and may soon face justice:

Dire Straits' song "Money for Nothing" gets banned in Canada 25 years after release because they apparently just noticed it uses the word "faggot":

Faggot is banned but slut, bitch, and fuck is not? Thats fcked up

[AngryAussie]

@kfcKICKSass Indeed

[TidusCloudRulez]

hahaha the "special circumstances" would only apply to searching for the smelled or supposedly smelled weed :P or something supposedly illegal in plain sight after such a search but you could successfully argue that out:P

[AngryAussie]

@TidusCloudRulez Cops always make up a justification

[cjwright79]

Canada didn't make 'faggot' illegal -- some dude behind a desk did. And they reversed the decision, so all's well that ends well I reckon.

[AngryAussie]

@cjwright79 Hurrah!

[AngryAussie]

@HardbeatAcolyte The thing is, banning words solves nothing

[GOTHICmetalperson156]

AMEN!!!

[relshar]

@GenX6887 in my dictionary the word faggot means a bundle of wood. *shrugs*

[Justinfh2point0]

I listened to "Money For Nothing" twice. The first time it was uncensored. The second time it was. WTF.

[A1R5N1P3R]

It's because so many canadians act like faggots these days.

They didn't pass it :'( Almost had a gay-protective law.
