I'm talking about Sir Mick Jagger having two songs censored by American TV networks during
Sunday's Super-bowl, for fear they would upset the country's dominant Christian right.

Did he call Jesus gay or Mary a whore? No. He mentioned a grain-eating farmyard animal.

This is the line deemed so offensive in the land of BLEEP* that it had to be taken off screen:


"Once upon a time I was your little rooster, am I just
one of your cocks?"

And if you think stopping a rock-and-roll
pensioner saying "cocks" is nothing to worry about,
think again.

These are the same TV networks who decide what their
people see whenever BLEEP* sends troops on a foreign
military adventure.

* I have censored the use of the US President's name
because it can be construed as a term for female pubic hair.
