Malaysia in Gag-a Malaise

Sean Yoong AP- "Broadcasters in this Muslim-majority nation have refused to play lines in the hit song that encourage public acceptance of gays, claiming Thursday they are being cautious because the government forbids offensive content. The precaution was due to government restrictions against songs that might violate "good taste or decency or (are) offensive to public feeling."

Malaysia has also put rules in place for performers, and has even banned Avril Lavigne from performing.

We say that regardless of lyrics, the music ought to be banned for its bad sound.
