StupidFilter is "an open-source filter software that can detect rampant stupidity in written English."

Too long have we suffered in silence under the tyranny of idiocy. In the beginning, the internet was a place where one could communicate intelligently with similarly erudite people. Then, Eternal September hit and we were lost in the noise.

I hope it has a "neocon" setting.
