Post random censored sentences on your site

Really slow website for me.

Edit: so here is a site using it and the script that is used http://andrew-jones.com/2009/06/19/irrepressible-widget-from...

When you click on the widget you just get taken to the welcome page and it shows what site it is from and who censored it (not really easily seen I think it should be the center of interest).

Script itself:

   <script type="text/javascript">
   var irr_lang = 'en';
   </script>
   <script src="http://fragments.irrepressible.info/js/fragment-180.js" type="text/javascript">
   </script>

and an opendir of their fragments: http://fragments.irrepressible.info/data/current/

Interesting but I don't see it being much use only posting fragments rather than the whole thing.

Given how slow the site is, can anyone please give some examples of its output? Is it meaningful sentences, "the man walked his dog in the park" type sentences that even things that everyone wants to censor would have or something else entirely?

I thought this would be some distributed way to reassemble texts, but actually it's just an awareness campaign?

They should use Cloudfront, S3 or at least a decent web server with some decent bandwith. Slow as...

My first thought was that they're being DOSed. I would presume a campaign like that gets plenty of unwanted traffic from those who'd rather keep those messages suppressed, even if they're only fragments.

Maybe you should tell them, they might not know about these options.

This is great. I've always wanted a way to one-up censorship. Let's see them censor the whole web.
