Getting some rhetorical exercise
I can’t imagine anyone actually needing this WordPress plugin, but it has its amusing aspects:
My latest plugin, the WordPress Politically Correct plugin, PC plugin for short, is a fitting plugin for today’s 2.0 bloggers. Turning your blog into something your mother would be proud of has never been easier.
My mother never read a blog in her life, but no matter. Here’s how it works:
Look at this exerpt for example:
So there was this bum harrasing this chick right? The guy was so drunk it wasn’t even funny. Next thing you know this huge, bald fireman comes to her rescue. He grabs the homeless guy and knocks him out cold. The poor soul looked dead, just lying there on the pavement. I know why the guy did it. The girl looked like a slut. He probably thought he was going to get some action. Yeah, she looked real easy.
Oh, my ears hurt from the foul, non PC language! Time to clean things up, turn your PC plugin on and presto! here’s what you get:
So there was this displaced homeowner harrasing this breasted american right? The guy was so chemically inconvenienced it wasn’t even funny. Next thing you know this huge, follicly challenged firefighter comes to her rescue. He grabs the optionally residential guy and knocks him out cold. The economically disadvantaged soul looked metabolically challenged, just lying there on the pavement. I know why the guy did it. The girl looked like a previously enjoyed companion. He probably thought he was going to get some action. Yeah, she looked real horizontally accessible.
Ah, better! Music to my ears.
In the next version, there ought to be a replacement for “get some action,” if you ask me.
If you want it, here’s the plugin page.

I realize it is an attempt at humor, but I’d rather be called a “chick” than a “breasted American” any day of the week.
(And that’s not a very politically correct term for women who have had mastectomies. Or pre-pubescent girls.)

How do you think recently hatched roosters would feel?

Wouldn’t recently hatched roosters be “small c**ks”?? (And THAT is rather un-PC, now that I think of it….)

Without my having to download it, is there any way to run the “process” on a text file, just for grins?

I suspect it’s basically just a filter that replaces a preset list of offending terms with, um, different terms.

It requires Wordpress. I was hoping it was something similar to the old BBS-days “Jive” or “Chef” executables that were so hilarious.
