Tyson Homosexual Qualifies for Olympics

[empirex]

Uuh facepalm.

The American Family Association obviously didn't foresee the problems that might arise with its strict policy to always replace the word "gay" with "homosexual" on the Web site of its Christian news outlet, OneNewsNow. The group's automated system for changing the forbidden word wound up publishing a story about a world-class sprinter named "Tyson Homosexual" who qualified this week for the Beijing Olympics.

The problem: Tyson's real last name is Gay. Therefore, OneNewsNow's reliable software changed the Associated Press story about Tyson Gay's amazing Olympic qualifying trial to read this way:

Tyson Homosexual was a blur in blue, sprinting 100 meters faster than anyone ever has.

His time of 9.68 seconds at the U.S. Olympic trials Sunday doesn't count as a world record, because it was run with the help of a too-strong tailwind. Here's what does matter: Homosexual qualified for his first Summer Games team and served notice he's certainly someone to watch in Beijing.

"It means a lot to me," the 25-year-old Homosexual said. "I'm glad my body could do it, because now I know I have it in me."

I love conservative nutjobs. There's something special about how they just get (and do) everything so wrong.

Lol gay filter.

Check out Reuters' headline from a few years back.

Tired Gay succumbs to Dix in 200 meters

"It wasn't bad, but I was a little fatigued toward the end," Gay said. "I tried to stay relaxed and bring it home, but it wasn't enough."

Just shows we must not rely on computers (especially find and replace) without some sensible person proof-reading the copy before it goes to print. No doubt the publisher will brazen it out with a smarmy excuse, but all they can hope is that this gets replaced by more important news asap

Why would christians want to change "gay" to "homosexual"?
What's the thought process behind that?

Homosexuals are nasty perverted paedophiles and gay is too pleasant a term for these sodomists.

Homosexual is more formal and thereby less accepting of the practice.

And another thing:-
It is a good thing that Jessica's parents were thoughtful enough to not call her Patricia, Paula, Pat or similar.

Good thinking Mr and Mrs Ennis

It's simple. The term gay is often being used in a slurring context. Homosexual is a relatively more technical term.
