Metafilter filtered

This page takes metafilter to a whole new level of enjoyousness. I bet that guy was up all night working on it.

I dunno who wrote it in what language, but it's pretty trivial in javascript using th DOM:

var li = document.links ;
for( var i = 0 ; i < li.length ; ++i ) {br> var c = li[ i ] ;
while( c.firstChild ) c.removeChild( c.firstChild ) ;
c.appendChild( d.createTextNode( "poop" ) ) ;
}

Serious vegetarians know to keep on the lookout for poop in their beer.

This is true, actually. The problem is that not too few vegetarians are adequately serious.

BTW, there is no way to get to the project detail page (e.g. this project also on cutup.org) from the project archives. So, unless I'm mistaken, there are no links to the vote info page for projects which have rolled off the front page anywhere on the site.

Curious. It looks like the "...lights, sounds, rhythms" link and "That'll teach 'em" and one or two others weren't converted to excrement.

I thought this might be editorializing, but the "Read more..."s on the sidebar aren't converted either. I wonder if the punctuation inside of the anchor tag is throwing off the parser.

The "Read more..." links actually come from an outside server. The others seem to have italics in common.

All MetaFilter, all the time

MetaFilter is simple (press 0 for operator) but others, like MetaFilter , are tricky (press ****) and MetaFilter is downright cryptic (option 1, xt 7266966, option 1, option 4, option 4).

I mean, I thought they were. I know that when I was manager of support at Illuminati Online, I only hired support personnel who refused to answer the telephone. Things went much more smoothly that way.
