Would the BBC have to play this if we all bought it?

A new entry at Number 66 in the UK top 100 would make an interesting addition to the Christmas day edition of top of the pops if it made the top 10.

(Don't play the song via youtube at work)

No.

I know that as someone who pays your licence, the anarchist in you feels that they should respond to your every whim, but common sense and taste means they should not

In the same vein they do not play any Gary Glitter songs, regardless of how popular they were in their day.

I don't see the humour in things like that. It's something that a chavvy teen would laugh at. Seem's quite pathetic that a grown man thinks it's at all funny.

I very much doubt it'd be played either, in fact, how the hell has it gotten into the charts at all?!

Yeah, it's supposed to shock but, bearing in mind that I find Jimmy Carr funny, things like that song, fat lesbians kissing in the middle of the aisle in Tesco and a Channel 4 programme showing a birth live on Christmas Day all rather tedious.

Thanks to b3ta.com

It's a strike against X factor albeit with a very, very blunt instrument, undoubtedly.
