Because it rules on radio and television content only in reaction to individual public complaints, the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council (a self-governing regulatory body for Canada's private broadcasters) compiles no list of censored material. Unlike the BBC, which maintains a comprehensive register of songs it deems offensive, the CBCS is less pro-active in its censorship.
Previous rulings on songs relate mostly to explicit language. In 2000, Boyz in the Hood by Dynamite Hack was deemed to have lyrics too cruel toward women. The decision read, in part: "The juxtaposition of lyrics such as 'Gotta get my girl to rock that body,' with such violent imagery as, 'I reached back like a pimp and I slapped [her]' clearly perpetuate the link between women in a sexual context and women as victims of violence."
Other previously banned songs include Livin' It Up by Limp Bizkit, and Outside by Aaron Lewis and Fred Durst.
In regard to Dire Straits' Money For Nothing, a CBSC panel concluded the multiple use of the word "faggot" was abusive and unduly discriminatory on the basis of sexual orientation. Under that reasoning, other songs might be in danger if someone were to lodge a complaint. Consider Elton John's All the Girls Love Alice, Lou Reed's Walk on the Wild Side and more than a few tunes by the edgy rappers Eminem and 50 Cent.
