With recent mistakes by companies and organizations not knowing how to properly censor online documents, its easy to see why people believe the text they can’t see can’t be read. And with computer illiterate talking heads like Rush Limbaugh or internet illiterate censorship advocates like Ursula von der Leyen, it is easy to befuddle them with the appearance of censored text on the web pages they commonly visit.

A playful experiment in “censoring” a web page by hiding text and images behind blocks.

We all know and love Mr. Kanye West and his blog. And while his CAPS LOCK rants are his best online trademark, it is difficult to read his rants. We here at F.A.T. Lab have take the time to clean up Kanye’s blog and repair the damage done by his CAPS LOCK key.

Go forth, and enjoy Kanye’s rants about Twitter, South Park, and Bonnaroo without CAPS LOCK damage (or ads)!!!!!
