Radio station KFOG in the San Francisco Bay area plays what seems
to be a censored version of "Money for Nothing".  I haven't noticed
it on other stations yet. (Even MTV plays the "real" version.)

The part about "the little faggot" with the earring, jet plane, "that
little faggot is a millionaire" is missing.

I know the first few times I heard it on KFOG it was the whole song, but
now each time it's played, it's the "shortened" version.

Are there other radio stations that are doing this?  Was more than
one version distributed (or "requested")?
