Christian Site’s Ban on ‘G’ Word Sends Homosexual to Olympics
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.
Automated word correction, like automated religiosity, exposes the lazy ass can’t be bothered to think for themselves fool within…
If these weren’t religious fundamentalists, I’d have expected them to learn their lesson from the “Of Pandas and People” humiliation.
I’m surprised it wasn’t Tyson Sodomite! They LOVE to throw that word out there as well.. We really shouldn’t go to that site and give them hits-it’s just putting money in their pockets. Most of their hits come from gay people commenting on their homophobic articles.
Don we now our homosexual apparel…..
I feel pretty, oh so pretty, I feel pretty and witty and homosexual!
Stupid is as stupid does.
They insist on ‘homosexual’ because it has the word ‘sex’ in it.
“Let me in season, Lord, be grave, in season homosexual…”
– Traditional Catholic hymn
“D’ ye ken John Peel with his coat so homosexual?”
– Northern English folksong
“The Homosexual Gordons”
– Popular Scottish dance
“A bachelor homosexual am I”
– Song from early 20th century operetta “The Maid of the Mountains”
“The sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home:
’Tis summer, the darkies are homosexual.”
– Minstrel song by Stephen Foster
Bonnie is right, I kinda like the word homoaffectional, but that, of course, will never catch on; besides Gay is shorter and easier.
