Censorship oops

Right Wing Watch report that the American Family Association’s "OneNewsNow" site have some software that automatically replaces any use of the word "gay" with the word "homosexual" in any of the AP stories they run. This has lead to instances in which proper names are reformatted to meet this standard, such as an article about sprinter Tyson Gay winning the 100 meters at the U.S. Olympic track and field trials in which he is renamed "Tyson Homosexual".




Thanks to Dizzy Thinks for the spot.
