Sure, let's let computers run the world

So, automatic editing software isn't all it's cracked up to be. In an attempt to be politically correct, the Christian news website OneNewsNow set up it's software to replace all instances of the word "gay" with "homosexual." As a result, a news story that ran on the US Olympic Track and Field Trials changed Tyson Gay's name to "Tyson Homosexual."



His explanation of what it meant to set the world's fastest ever 100 meter time at the Olympic trials produced the best quote of the story:

"It means a lot to me," the 25-year-old Homosexual said. "I'm glad my body could do it, because now I know I have it in me." He he.

For the whole story, along with some unnecessary editorializing, go here.
