Please note that, contrary to the headline, 'Money for Nothing' has not been banned in Canada. An independent body made up of representatives of Canada's broadcasting community has ruled that its member radio stations may not play the unedited version of the song on the radio. That's not the same as saying the song is banned.

Note: there has already been a rebellion .

Also, for those who were complaining about government, the CBSC is not a government agency; it's radio policing itself.

Personally, for all the reasons given above, I think it's a silly ruling. And it prompted me to get 'Brothers in Arms' out again, which I hadn't for a long time.
