Hilarious! I plugged in some paragraphs from press releases and it was spot on. I also appreciated the "or Scientist" part ... simply awesome! "Bullshit Index :0.64 This reeks. I bet you're a PR-Expert, Politician, Consultant or Scientist. If there is a message, it's unlikely it will reach anyone."

Any chance of an overview of the algorithm you're using to filter out the text? My thinking is you are measuring word count versus commonly used marketing or political jargon count, but that's probably too simple.
"Politics are great, come buy our new, brand spanking awesome banana phone, apple, steve jobs, cripplingly epic banana phone. Just great phones, with bananas, no apples to be found here. Samsung can suck on our banana phone. Android is better than iOS."
"Your text: 251 characters, 43 words Bullshit Index :0.03 Your text shows no or marginal indications of 'bullshit'-English."
>Bullshit Index :0.26 Your text shows some indications of 'bullshit'
some indications ... I'd say this thing is broken.
