I love the internets.
Some religious group calling itself the American Family Association reposts AP news stories on a site it calls OneNewsNow, but with one slight modification: The AFA apparently uses an auto-replace featue to replace "inappropriate" words with the AFA-sanctioned synonyms. "Gay" is one of these inappropriate words. Or at least that is the conclusion most people are drawing from this article, which recounts Tyler Tyson Gay's record-breaking 100 m performances at the U.S. Olympic trials over the weekend:
Tyson Homosexual easily won his semifinal for the 100 meters at the U.S. Olympic track and field trials and seemed to save something for the final later Sunday.
His wind-aided 9.85 seconds was a fairly cut-and-dry performance compared to what happened a day earlier. On Saturday, Homosexual misjudged the finish in his opening heat and had to scramble to finish fourth, then in his quarterfinal a couple of hours later, ran 9.77 to break the American record that had stood since 1999.
One of the men who talked about challenging Homosexual in the 100, his former Arkansas teammate Wallace Spearmon, failed to make it to the final by the slimmest of margins. The top four runners advance from each semifinal, and Spearmon finished fifth in his-all of .001 behind Michael Rodgers.
. . .
Homosexual didn't get off to a particularly strong start in the first semifinal, but by the halfway mark he had established a comfortable lead. He slowed somewhat over the final 10 meters-nothing like the way-too-soon complete shutdown that almost cost him Saturday.
Asked how he felt, Homosexual said: "A little fatigued."
H/t Houston's Clear Thinkers. ScienceBlogs has more, including some quotes that didn't make it into the Google Cache. (AFA has fixed the original article.) The people at Right Wing Watch catalogue other gaffes by these knuckleheads.
