Welfare seekers and country shoppers

So, it seems some bleeding hearts have made a compassionista plugin for Google chrome that replaces the words "asylum seeker" with "human" and other such bullshit.

I figured some fun could be had with that.

So I installed the plugin and had quick look at it's code and as expected it is just a simple bit of javascript.

So I went and replaced the "human" with "country shopper" and browsed around a bit and what do you know it worked.

I then looked at the code a bit more and saw that the original code was like this;

find: /an Asylum Seeker|an Illegal Immigrant|a Migrant|an Illegal Migrant|a Refugee|an Asylum seeker|an Illegal immigrant|an Illegal migrant|a Boat Person|a Boat person|a Queue Jumper|a Queue jumper/g,
replace: 'human'

I decided to go one step further and remove all the references to "asylum" and added a new section like this;

find: /asylum/g,
replace: 'welfare'

Next I added

find: /persecution/g,
replace: 'denied an easy life on welfare'

Now, when I browse to the Human Rights Asylum Seeker page I see this;


Hahaha
