This can cause problems. Here's an auto-corrected AP article about the sprinter Tyson Gay run by the American Family Association over the weekend: "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. "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'." The AFA took down the page, but too late.

Later corrected to say: "Gay Bomb dropped over Hiroshima today Thousands killed by it" Back to top   Ads Advertising Sponsor Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         Philosophu Talk Forum Index -> Philosophu Talk All times are GMT Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum Philosophu Talk----------------Philosophu Talk  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Australian Debt Consolidation Experts medical insurance Wedding Invitation Trova Escort e Accompagnatrici sui portali di annunci (www.EscortForum.com, www.BestAnnunci.com, www.PiccoleTrasgressioni.com ...)
