Look Before You Leap

so, there is a website called one news now that is a christian news site that perhaps is not familiar with the phrase "there are exceptions to every rule". and there is an olympic sprinter called tyson gay. how did the two of these come together? well, first, tyson won at the olympic trials 100m dash and, second, one news now has a filter in its system that automatically changes the word gay into homosexual in any news text that it receives and posts on its site - erm, just so there's no confusion, i am thinking. then the associated press wrote an article about tyson's brilliant race that appeared, in part, thusly on one news now:

Homosexual eases into 100 final at Olympic trials

Tyson Homosexual easily won his semifinal for the 100 meters at the U.S. Olympic track and field trials and seemed to save something for the final later Sunday.

His wind-aided 9.85 seconds was a fairly cut-and-dry performance compared to what happened a day earlier. On Saturday, Homosexual misjudged the finish in his opening heat and had to scramble to finish fourth, then in his quarterfinal a couple of hours later, ran 9.77 to break the American record that had stood since 1999.

Homosexual didn't get off to a particularly strong start in the first semifinal, but by the halfway mark he had established a comfortable lead. He slowed somewhat over the final 10 meters — nothing like the way-too-soon complete shutdown that almost cost him Saturday.

Asked how he felt, Homosexual said: "A little fatigued."
