BP-Blocker für Firefox

02. Jun 2010 um 11:15 - Kommentieren - Share it

Erst dachte ich, das soll ein Witz sein, aber es gibt das “Black Oil”-Firefox Plugin wirklich! Die vorläufige Beta-Version des Plugins schwärzt bzw. “verölt” alle Erwähnungen von “BP” auf Internetseiten…

Version 2 ist auch schon in Planung:

In v2 we are going to make this plugin turn any image taggged with BP to black and white and then under the photo its going to have oil drips.. and if you go to any official BP site, like their twitter, it turns everything black and the text is a dark grey. also any text that says: “oil” will have a underline drips.

Eine Google-Seite sieht dann zum Beispiel so aus:

******* *********-Blocker

Wer zudem mal wissen möchte, wie groß der Ölteppich im Vergleich zu seiner Heimatstadt ist kann dies über die Webseite http://www.beowulfe.com/oil/ herausfinden. Dort wird die ungefähre Größe des Ölteppichs in Google Maps überlagert:

This is what it looks like when installed, when you search for ******* *********

In v2 we are going to make this plugin turn any image taggged with ******* *********to black and white and then under the photo its going to have oil drips.. and if you go to any official ******* *********site, like their twitter, it turns everything black and the text is a dark grey. also any text that says: “oil” will have a underline drips.

Here is a landing page for the project.

We put that page up this morning and people are liking it, http://search.twitter.com/search?q=******* *********+firefox

A popular tweet is “Want ******* *********to fuck up your browser like they’ve fucked up the Gulf? Install the Oil Spill Firefox plugin from @jess3“

I think this is a fantastic idea. It’s going to be easy to forget what happened in the coming years – install this in your browser and you’ll be reminded forever. It’s exactly what our country, with it’s supershort attention span, honestly needs. Thank you!
