If you’ve never saw the website before, its a website featuring pictures of overweight people in funny hats, with funny captions by some guy named Miguel in over-the-top bad english.
Anyway, I was at the site and came acrossThe Miguel Filter .
You enter the URL, and it turns that webpage into something that looks like it was written by Miguel himself. Here’s what it does to the SD home page:

Funny stuff.
Yeah, it would be funny if it weren’t for the fact that it really isn’t.
“ARE ALL MIGETS FAGS!?? yes of course.”
and
“Hi I am a fag.”
just don’t strike my fancy. Nor do the “fat jokes” (are they still called “jokes” if they aren’t funny?) and the constant use of “retarded”. Granted, I didn’t see half of the pictures so I guess there’s a chance I might be wrong and the site is really comic genius. I just don’t really think so, though.
Warning: that link is not exactly work safe.
Or funny.

Someone even tried to defend themself against this guy:
Then falls victim to Godwin’s Law
Had you been alive in Germany at the time of WWII, you would have been right up there, hands in the air, swastika-emblazoned, herding the innocents onto trains, all in the interest of keeping humanity “pure” and free of “inferior” specimens. You are no better that a Nazi, don’t ever fool yourself.
I really wish the Putz! smiley was back…
Demeaning to women, potentially non-work safe, bad taste . . . this is closed.
