Whilst sorting out playlists for the radio show over the next few weeks, I found myself looking through my favourite songs, which includes 'Tsunami' by the Manic Street Preachers. Problem is, I love this song but don't even feel comfortable listening to it at home, let alone letting York hear it. Is this unnecessary political correctness, or am I just being too sensitive?

I guess some people may have a problem with it, but life does go on for most. If things went pc after every disaster, there'd be little left!

I hate this political correctness, listen to what ever song you bloody want to!
Point is, I have a university radio show (and you know what whingers universities are) and like to play my favourite songs in between the 'feature' slots. I'll think about it, but for some reason a light-sounding love song featuring the chorus 'Tsunami, tsunami came washing over me' makes me feel very uncomfortable.
I think I'll leave it.

Just adopt the up-middle-finger approach to things like this, mate.
If you want to listen to it then listen to it. I'm sure others would like to hear it too - You have no bad intent and if it offends others that's their problem.

Is that on URY!? Is it actually transmitted properly now? Always used to be on some crappy closed loop system that went round the walkways! Also YSTV was pretty poor in my day, all those lame old 70s rediffusion TVs just used to show burned in teletext screens in the college bars!
Back on topic, listened to Tsunami by Arena today, did make me think...

The powers that be in the University probably won't even notice until Vision or NoUse take up the cause.
So it just depends whether you can be bothered with the hassle. Chance are nobody wll notice!!
