People laughed when it was said that perhaps The Onion could save Journalism. Who's laughing now, eh!?

You could call this brilliant advertising: Those laughing now are most likely to be males between the ages of 12 and 34. :)

If I stop laughing at fart sounds when I'm 35, it'll be because I'm dead.

Jokes aside, I make my browser make a click when an external object is loaded and when a page starts and finishes loading. This audible enforcement is very helpful during development and to "hear" which sites are sneaking in external calls without bringing up firebug, etc.

I run Ghostery to stop sites from loading external media. If you're not opposed to plugins, even if you don't actually want to block the media, you can put it into disabled mode and it'll still tell you how many external calls were made (and, if you click on the icon, it brings up a list of the associated domains). Granted, I'm running Chromium (presumably you're talking about Firefox), but the plugin does exist for…

I've always felt ghostery is the poor-man's noscript. If he wants to know about all external calls (which he presumably does) then noscript will actually do that while ghostery will let 'good' ones by untouched.

Lets put this into a bookmarklet :P

Done: https://gist.github.com/fabriceleal/5547487 . Tested in hacker news (no jQuery) and wikipedia (has jQuery). For some reason, github doesn't like that I'm loading something from raw.github.com/... Chrome console says: Refused to load the script ' https://raw.github.com/theonion/fartscroll.js/master/fartscr... because it violates the following Content Security Policy directive: "script-src https://github.com http…

It's just a demographics joke. I hope you are still amused by flatulence past the ripe old age of 34... even if you do cause a world-rending paradox, you selfish bastard.

Is there a way to make anyone accessing my home wifi network get this injected into their webpages (or random webpages)? I know there is that trick that lets you flip all the images or replace them with pics of something else (usually cats) but can you inject arbitrary js into pages also?
