It's a P.C. world and your living in it

From Politico: Every once in a while there are consequences to our politically correct language. Case in Point: a far-right fundamentalist website, American Family Association, who subscribes to AP stories, employs an auto-correct feature to their stories that changes the word "gay" to "homosexual." Of course, when stories involve the U.S. Sprinter Tyson Gay, hilarity ensues. Check out the article under the headline, “Homosexual eases into 100 final at Olympic trials.”

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. […]

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.”

I bet you were fatigued...
