Thrashen, "Money for Nothing" came out when I was in college and I thought it was hilarious. It's interesting how the younger guys here on CF use the word "controversial" about lyrics, movies, etc. when I was young we didn't use the word controversial, I guess because calling fagg a fagg was correct and truthful. I never understood why queers got offended for calling them what they are.
Another word we used was "retarded." Now my daughter says she can't use that word in school. She has to call students who are slow, "special." I still say retarded and I still call *******, *******, queers, weird or whatever is truthful. Faggs and Lesbians, are queer and weird in every sense of the word!
Anyway, the use of ****** and queer was used often in 70's and 80's movies without any controversy. The movie, "An Officer and a Gentleman" comes to mind when Marine Corps Drill Instructor Louis Gossett asks one of the recruits if he's a queer. Now when you see the movie on TV, they cut that version out. Another movie "Full Metal Jacket" is so truthful you'll never ever see it on TV again because they would have to cut too much of the movie so the PC crowd could stomach it.
My brother still uses the word "colored' when describing blacks and they get offended by this. He asks blacks that get offended, what does NAACP stand for?
This could be a great topic on a new thread if it hasn't already been discussed.
