The Stupid Filter takes on the Freepers.
Edited on Fri Aug-29-08 04:44 PM by pabsungenis
For those of you who've never heard of it, there is a project underway called "The Stupid Filter," which uses algorithms to examine whether or not content on-line is stupid, and would eventually give a user a chance to filter it.

The Stupid Filter is in Beta right now at http://stupidfilter.org and I thought I'd see what it thought about some Freeper comments today.

HA HA EVERY FEMINAZI IN AMERICA JUST POOPED THEIR DEPENDS.

Text is likely to be stupid.

Pro-life, home-schooling mother of five, life-time NRA member, fiscally conservative.
What's not to like !!!!!

Text is likely to be stupid.

WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOO! Brilliant! Hooray John McCain!

Text is likely to be stupid.

Masterful campaign....perfect choice...base is excited...takes the wind out of Barack’s sails...and pisses Hillary off!!

Text is likely to be stupid.

Lousy choice. I’m afraid he just handed the White House Obama. God help us!

How the heck is he supposed to make a campaign issue out of Obama’s inexperience when he’s got a running mate with 2 years as governor of a sparsely populated state while being a full-time mother, um, on the side? And what does it say about the Republican Party’s commitment to “family values”, when it sees fit to nominate a mother of 5 children, including a disabled, still-nursing infant, to be VP and step in as POTUS if necessary?

There’s got to be a huge celebration going on in Obama-land right now. And we’d better all be praying that Obama pulls off some really HUGE screw-up between now and Election Day.

Text is not likely to be stupid.

1. I put the 1st paragraph of your OP through their filter:

"Text is not likely to be stupid."

Congrats! That's an interesting project - thanks for the link!

2. You are more than welcome.
I find it intriguing. Of course, if I filter all stupid content on-line, I won't have much left to read.
