FOX Sports Has Fun With Sexual Innuendos

UPDATE: We had a screen grab within this post earlier today of a poll currently running on FOX Sports, which you can view for yourself by clicking here. But I warn you: It contains sexual innuendos that may be upsetting. Here’s the orginal post with the parts I was required to take out appearing as “redacted.”


When the “[redacted] seconds” story broke on Tuesday night, AP refused to use Sean Avery’s actual language. Instead, the overly sensitive Associated Press folks went with, “I just want to comment on how it's become like a common thing in the NHL for guys to fall in love with my (former girlfriends).” Much classier, clearly.

So, if the editors at the AP found “[redacted] seconds” to be offensive, then they’ll probably need to bathe themselves in holy water after seeing the poll running in FOX Sports’ latest story about Avery:

My favorite is option two: “[redacted].” Simply because they felt the need to include the word “easy” as a little extra dig on Elisha Cuthbert, as if she isn't embarrassed enough by all this.
