WHAT'S IN A NAME? ASK THE CHRISTIAN RIGHT!

Winner of the most uproariously funny piece of news this week goes to the far-right American Family Association and their ridiculous gaffe, in which they implemented a site-wide search and replace for the word "gay" (an inappropriate term in their nano-minds) with the word "homosexual." Enter Olympic athlete Tyson Gay (pictured above) whose name ended up
appearing in news stories on the site as "Tyson Homosexual." One of the site's headlines read, "Homosexual eases into 100 meter finals...."

Now, I'm just praying (wouldn't the AFA be proud of me) for an athlete with the last name of Retard to qualify for the Olympics. That would probably warrant a search and replace with, say, "mentally challenged," as in: "Mentally Challenged tumbles to success." Or maybe an athlete with the last name of Hooker. "Prostitute dives into qualifying round."
The possibilities are endless.
