OT giggle - spellcheck alone won't always do it

by "A R Pickett" <WOODeSTOCKe@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Jul 4, 2008 at 09:55 AM

Copied and pasted from Laurie R King's enjoyable blog she calls
"Mutterings"

As follows -

"This hilarious entry appeared yesterday on Jason Kottke's eminently 
followable blog.  I'll paste the bulk of it below for those of you who
might 
have trouble seeing the small font-

  The American Family Association automatically replaces words like "gay" 
with "homo***ual" in the AP stories they display on their news site. When
an 
American sprinter named Tyson Gay is in the news, the practice leads to 
hilarity.

    Homo***ual eases into 100 final at Olympic trials
    Tyson Homo***ual 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.

  And on it goes."On Saturday, Homo***ual misjudged the finish in his 
opening heats.", "Homo***ual runs wind-aided 9.68 seconds to make
Olympics.", 
"Close call: Homo***ual barely averts major flop in 100."
