The OutRage! website seems to be closed definitively for unknown reasons. While doing my research, it was sometimes opperative but most of the time it was not in function. Maybe the work of hackers or simply a condition to the February 2005 deal reached within the dancehall industry and gay organisations. In any cases, this is the way the text originally appered on their webpage.
		BBC 'Grateful' to OutRage! Outrage! News Service August 29, 2002 Original link for this article: LINK LONDON – The BBC has told The Guardian newspaper that the inclusion of “Burn Out Da Chi Chi, by Jamaican reggae artist Capleton on a Top 10 playlist and the BBC 1Xtra website was “a mistake” and that the station was “grateful to OutRage for bringing it to our attention," They added that the other controversial track “Log on” by Elephant Man had been given airtime, but that the offensive lyrics had been edited out. A spokesperson for the BBC added that DJ Chris Goldfinger had not personally selected the songs. His online producers selected them. Both songs called for the killing of gay men. This is not the first time that the BBC and Goldfinger have been at the centre of a homophobic music row. Last year Gay Times ran a story by radio producer David Prosser in which he criticised the Goldfinger’s show for having the band TOK’s song “Chi Chi Man” which also glorified the killing of gay people at the Number One spot on the show’s charts.It seems the BBC is keen to say “sorry” without actually doing anything to prevent homophobic artists getting airplay in the future. OutRage! spokesperson, Brett Lock says however that it is not enough to edit out the offensive lines of a song for airplay while promoting sales of the unedited CD. “It’s a bit like quoting selectively from ‘Mein Kampf’ without giving any indication of evil bits” said Lock. “I would rather they played the songs uncensored, rather than sanitising the artist. If the artist gains popularity through radio exposure, so will his homophobic, violent and hateful views when translated into CD sales. By censoring the songs, the BBC is abdicating responsibility for its part in making these artists popular. It is passing the buck.” After the murder of Damilola Taylor - a child taunted mercilessly with homophobic abuse - two years ago, broadcasters have a very real responsibility to ensure that antigay violence isn’t glorified in popular music. Homophobic bullying has reached such a crisis point that the Government has been moved for the first time to discuss guidelines and programmes to address it at parliamentary level. OutRage! believes that this cavalier attitude to promoting artists with homophobic messages – simply because they are popular or commercial – will eventually leave the BBC with blood on its hands. OutRage! calls on the BBC to publicly distance itself from these artists and to proactively embark on an anti-homophobia campaign on the stations that have promoted these artists
