PC at it's best...
This one made my day.
OneNewsNow.com, a Mississippi-based Web site committed to delivering "news from a Christian perspective," has a strict policy to replace certain words deemed offensive. So imagine the surprise when readers learned Sunday that Tyson Homosexual — not Tyson Gay — had run the world's fastest 100-meter dash. The site ran the following altered Associated Press recap of Gay's 9.68-second sprint:
"Tyson Homosexual was a blur in blue, sprinting 100 meters faster than anyone ever has. ... Homosexual qualified for his first Summer Games team." "It means a lot to me," the 25-year-old Homosexual said. "I'm glad my body could do it."
Fred Jackson, news director of OneNewsNow, told the Washington Post that the site has been fixed. "We took the filter out for that word," he told the Post.
