Mittens Romney – Browser Extension

This a browser extension which turns all instances of Mitt Romney to Mittens Romney on web pages. ( Mitt is short for Mittens!!!! )

I’m convinced that nobody in the US would accept having a president named Mittens, so I am releasing a tool to highlight his real ( and rather cute ) name.

Screen shot of the installed extension:

A huffington post article made that bit more silly:

An example google search (before & after installing Mittens):

Install Mittens:
What are you waiting for? Get Mittens Now!

Click to install Mittens Chrome Extension

Download and Install Mittens Safari Extension ( then double click to install )

Click to install Mittens Firefox Extension ( 1.0.1 – New! )

Note: Firefox version was automatically made with this tool and isn’t working on google search results. Working on getting it working 100%. Update: Thanks to Greg Leuch – we have a much better 1.0.1 Firefox version, with google search result integration.

You can grab the code or contribute to the project on github:

Los Impoliticos @ Palazzo delle arti Napoli

Impoliticos

Resistors and Hexaclock @ Los Impoliticos
19 December 2009 – February 28, 2010
Pallazo delle arte Napoli

This exhibition is dedicated to the concept of what is beyond the common understanding in some countries of the Americas who share a historical and cultural backgrounds. Is not dedicated to the anti-politics or the apolitical but to that outside the ordinary cannons that policy offers. So this may be a new policy or the end of politics itself. But this is somewhat ‘broader’. Curated by Laura Bardier.

F.A.T. in Mexican Senate

When the Mexican government announced a plan to tax internet connections, along with cigarettes, alcohol and junk food, F.A.T. fellow Geraldine Juarez and an army of twitteros unleashed the power of the hashtag. “#internetnecesario” was all over the news, and climaxed with this live-broadcasted testimony to the Mexican senate. Geraldine tells it like it is – “internet no es papitas”! (the Internet is not Doritos)

Ursula von der Leyen Fanclub

Drx and I are big fans of the german politician for family affairs, Ursula von der Leyen. Thanks to her quite emotional killer argument “child pornography”, we now have a law in Germany to build a censorship infrastructure. We think this is very great of her, so we started a Fanclub Recently we presented ourselfs to the public.

We also presented our fun Ursula script, it allows you to put her head on your website, and make her give comments about the website you are currently viewing.

  • “Wow, that’s really unfortunate. I remember when he did this before. It’s not good for anybody, especially our country.” (NY Times).

  • ~Hilary Clinton on Ralph Nader

  • “I will receive no money from commercial interests or political action groups.” (Meet The Press).

  • ~Ralph Nader
