This thing is obviously broken.

Thanks to my friends over at Marginal Utility I recently became aware of a little gizmo that determines how much profanity* you use in your blog. Always game for an experiment, I decided to check and see just how foul Total Drek really is. The answer may, believe it or not, surprise you:

Okay, let me rephrase that. It won't surprise anyone that my profanity rating is "high" but, that said, only 18% of the pages on this blog contain swearing? Really? I mean, let's face it, I once used the expression "Jesus titty-fucking Christ" in a blog post. How is it that my profanity level is only 18%? Don't I get bonus points for variety or something? I scored only 6/10ths of a percntage point higher than my compadres on Marginal Utility and, let's face it, they're a lot more mature than I am.

I just... I dunno. I feel like I've failed somehow.


* Technically, they use the word "cussing" but I find this term rather absurd in regular conversation. It's a little like an adult saying, "I have to go poopy." Sure, we all get the point, but there are less infantile ways of expressing the same idea.**

** Note that I am not denigrating the parents out there who get into the habit of saying things like this when their children are young. Trust me, I'm cool with y'all.
