So I look up the Wikipedia entry on the actors. The entry for Tom Welling(Superman) says He is incredibly homosexual or something like that, just sort of chucked in there by some joker.

To mutate a phrase - the price of internet information is eternal vigilance. That's not a bad thing.

They fixed it quickly... I'm glad :)
