In an effort to counter-balance the liberal media, some far-right websites run auto-correct on AP articles to change the words "Democratic Party" to "Democrat Party," which is hilarious. Zing!
The American Family Association’s OneNewsNow has taken it a step further by replacing the word "gay" with "homosexual." Speculation could abound as to why they make this change, but I like to believe they are trying to "recapture" the word so that we bloggers will once again have a way to describe weekend outings in the park with our family.
Unfortunately, this is simple transfer of words does not always work out as intended. The readers of AFA's news feed were informed this weekend that American track athlete Tyson Homosexual has breezed to an easy finish in the 100 meters semi-final at the Olympic Trials. Also noted in the headlines were the facts that "Homosexual runs wind-aided 9.68 seconds to make Olympics" and "Close call: Homosexual barely averts major flop in 100."
From now on, the OG will automatically replace all references to "homosexual" with "homersexual."

Did you hear about the boy who saved Holland by sticking his finger in a homosexual?
ReplyDeleteWould they replace "dyke" with "homosexual" or "lesbian"? I'm just curious, seeing as how the fundies want to strictly segregate by sexuality, and they historically have segregated by gender. Would they separate out teh gehy from teh lezbians, or are they all just homersexuals? I'm just not up on the more nuanced aspects of fundie social theory.
