Racist sexist, and homophobic is the least of it on Encyclopedia Dramatica. There's some very, very dodgy stuff on there. Very odd of Fox to be linking directly to a site that glorifies both rape *and* child abuse.
I wonder if the Fox News editor clicked 'random article' on that site?

Ah, now we find out the real advantage to having Stevie on board - he has to go through that article pointing out all the mistakes in it, not us! The link to Encyclopedia Dramatica is particularly good...
Yes, always good to show maturity and dedication to the cause of protecting children from harmful material by linking to a website that routinely uses racist, sexist and homophobic descriptions...
It's the old Daily Mail trick: this is awful and terrible and wrong, and here are 14 high-resolution closeups of it!
