Tourettes extension for FireFox

<< < (2/2)

Ralf Maximus:
It's kind of neat they included the sourcecode, so you could create your own friendly, happy, environmentally PC version if you want.

Edvard:
OK, let me bring a little sanity here...
This extension is ACTUALLY trying to mimic Coprolalia which is a less-common-but-widely-publicized subset of symptoms of Tourette Syndrome, which is actually a serious disorder.
I'm not trying to damp anyone's fun, just that some people might not find it funny for very different reasons...

Thank you for defining the distinction.  I've known people with Tourettes and never understood the fine differences.

And for what it's worth, I've had a lot of experience with mental illness in family & friends (schizophrenia, bi-polar disorder, OCD, Alzheimer's, Tourettes) and bottom line, if you can't laugh about it you end up crying all the time.
