I'll bring my experience: I've just uploaded polygen to unstable: it's a
text generator. It takes grammars describing how to construct phrases,
and generates phrases. It comes with lots of grammars, some of which
can be offensive for someone.
Some examples (I choose simple grammars to avoid keeping it too long):
The computer genius:
Man, how to receive the Ultra-wide cache?
From Mac and from the control preferences inside DOS XP you neither
must turn on a 63-inch folder, nor should install the code on a
system of the computer on the IP proxy to receive from the ISDN
space bar.
The French Grandeur:
Egalite', Specialites, Liberte'!
Humilte', Egalite', Maternite'!
Egalite', Fraternite', Mon Dieu!
Fraternite', Specialites, Atelier!
Fraternite', Bidet, Liberte'!
Illegalite', Richelieu, Bidet!
The Hispano-Portuguese names (btw, this grammar is called Fernanda :):
Jalapeno-Silva de la Tega de la Barca y de la Vega de la Fava
Fernando y Taquito Piva y da Silva Silva-Piva
Dolores y Alemanna Gutierrez-Quesos
Dolores Guacamole Silva y de la Vega-Silva de la Barca
Guacamole y Alemanna de la Tega-Quesos-Silva
Jalapeno y Diego de la Vega-Barroso-Silva
Soledad-Espinoza de Contresas
Maria-Silva de la Barca y de Perez de la Vega
The Metal Rock songs:
Dragon Muraturer - The isles of doom
Satanic Dragons - Steel from the steel dimension
Warrior of Silver - In the waste of mortals
Necrotic Whore - The land of violence
Other of Blood - In the shadow of Chaos
Inverted Rage - In the valley of violence
Neosuffocation - The land of Chaos
And I personally made the "Italian abroad" grammar:
Italiano cappuccino
Italiano pizza cazzo vuoi Mussolini
Italiano gondola O Sole Mio mafia
Italiano mamma rubare
Italiano mandolino gondola
Italiano pizza Corleone gondola
Italiano pizza gondola mamma
Italiano cappuccino mandolino gondola
Italiano Corleone pepperoni
Italiano presidente scemo mafia
There are grammars that may offend some people, but I wouldn't like to
remove them. What I would like is to suggest offended people to pay
back writing funny grammars. The result of this is lots of funny
grammars, and everyone has a chance of making some good laugh.
Ciao,
Enrico poking people's susceptibility to push creative efforts :)
P.S.
This is still in the NEW queue; it'll probably take a couple of weeks to
get in. And I can't wait! :)
