Given the brouhaha AP made about bloggers using excerpts and headlines of their articles, I can’t wait to hear what they do about this. If you click through to the article you’ll see a bunch of hilarious examples of how the website’s word replacement works. And why ‘gay’? Why are they so afraid of gays? Not that they limit themselves. Check out how AFA’s OneNewsNow redirects links into their site to a Good Person Test which shows you’re all going to hell.
Right Wing Watch: The Dangers of Auto-Replace
In addition to blocking traffic from websites they don’t like, it looks like the web-geniuses behind the American Family Association’s OneNewsNow site have a few other tricks up their sleeves, such as automatically replacing any use of the word “gay” with the word “homosexual” in any of the AP stories they run … leading to instances in which proper names are reformatted to meet their ridiculous standard, such as this 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”:

>>Its no different between the terms blacks and
>>african american, even though black is more
>>correct as not all blacks came from Africa.
More importantly, not all blacks are American. What are we supposed to call “persons of African descent” who were born an live in Africa, Jamaica, etc.?
Given the turn American has taken since the turn of the century, they’d probably rather be called jigaboos or bluegums than Anything-American.
I’m not sure if that was the MISSION, but it certainly has been ACCOMPLISHED.
#32–Now Mr Mustard==that certainly was a stupid racist ignorant shit-brained sort of thing to say.
What “turn” has America taken since 2000 that would particularly shame our proud black brothers any more than we anemic albinos?
Barack is proud to be an American. His story could not happen anywhere else. American blacks are unified in their hope for a better future thru his candidacy.
Opportunity to shock by being politically incorrect== plus one.
Accuracy in the point made==minus one.
Holding ground is better than losing I guess.
After a hard session at the YMCA, a little Ben Homosexual feels great.
#34, Greg,
LOL !!! I wonder if any of the wing nuts see the pun.
If a straight couple does anal sex, and i know plenty that do. Does that make the guy gay?
