The American Family Association runs a site called OneNewsNow. I suppose it's your run-o-the-mill news aggregator site with one heretofore unremarkable quirk: an automated script that, for style purposes I guess, replaces the word "gay" with "homosexual." Which I don't necessarily see as an unreasonable decision. From a technical standpoint, though, it's not a good idea for such a context-insensitive filter -- particularly if you're world-record-breaking sprinter Tyson Gay. Then things get a little weird.

Bonus: From the story Wolves trade Mayo to Memphis for Love (which is pretty awesome in and of itself): "Memphis Grizzlies backers hit the hay hoping that Kevin Love would open things up for Rudy Homosexual in the frontcourt."

Oh lord. Of course, that guy is from Lexington, so I'm so bringing this into work tomorrow so we can all point and laugh.
