Technological Irony 1, American Family Association 0
I found this nice article about a right wing Christian group that uses auto-replace to change certain words in news stories they post. This poses an obvious journalistic ethics problem for a variety of reasons, but this time it was offensive and funny. For whatever reason, they don't like the word gay, so they always replace it with 'homosexual.' That ends up being very bad for anyone who makes the news and happens to have the last name Gay. Right Wing Watch reports.
