Uncensor the Internet

Code that puts the swearing back into websites.

Blogs are plagued by self-censorship. For every son or daughter of Miller and Hemingway who writes how they live and lives how they fuck, there are a thousand who write expletives for people who understand them while substituting punctuation for lettering for fear of offending some sh!t’s eye. A feat of linguistic gymnastics which obeys the letter of a self-imposed prohibition while violating its spirit, as cowardly as it’s stupid.

Uncensor the Internet is a GreaseMonkey script, also available as a plugin, which returns bowlderised words to the English they once were. I hope people use it to re-post blog entries as comments and thus expose the idiocy of treating f#ck as more respectable than its correctly spelled progenitor.

Can someone work on something which de-mosaics photos and removes black bars from pictures now?

    I am so in love with GreaseMonkey and all the fabulous scripts available for use with Firefox.

    Why why why anyone would still be using IE is beyond me.

    This is probably the funniest script I’ve seen. Have you tested it, Sam? Does it do what it’s meant to do?

    AAG - From what I’ve seen it works as advertised. However I’m not much of a GreaseMonkey user as my working if requires me seeing the web like everyone else, which is why I run 3-4 browsers in a couple of operating systems. Sad but true.
