OneNewsNow (a division of American Family News Network) has outdone themselves today. Apparently the “family oriented” network has some sort of filtering system that changes the word “gay” into the word “homosexual” and the result was the laughable network calling U.S. Olympic track and field member, Tyson Gay, “Tyson Homosexual” in their article detailing the runner’s victory in his semifinal for the 100 meter at the Olympic trials.

Although the network has went back and changed the copy in the article, the evidence still remains in this screenshot from Google’s blog search that was captured by Awful Announcing Blog.

The blunder has been sprinting like a flaming queen all across the blogosphere. Here’s just a few of the best links :

• OutSports - World’s fastest man: Tyson Homosexual
• FanIQ - This Is Why You Should Never Get Your News From A Christian News Site
• The CarpetBagger Report - Note to the religious right: auto-replace is not your friend

I wonder how OneNewsNow would handle any articles on theses athletes: De’Cody Fagg, Lucious Pusey, Rudy Gay, John David Booty and Dick Trickle.

Jerry Falwell could be heard laughing all the way from his post on the 666th ring of Hell.
