How to make a soundbite that is completely meaningless

Prime Minister David Cameron says that if online pornographers don’t voluntarily install effective age-restricted controls on their websites he’ll introduce legislation that will close them down altogether. A recent Childline poll found nearly 10% of 12-13-year-olds were worried they were addicted to pornography and 18% had seen shocking or upsetting images. The minister for internet safety and security, Joanna Shields, said: “As a result of our work with industry, more than 90% of UK consumers are offered the choice to easily configure their internet service through family-friendly filters – something we take great pride in having achieved. It’s a gold standard that surpasses those of other countries. Whilst great progress has been made, we remain acutely aware of the risks and dangers that young people face online. This is why we are committed to taking action to protect children from harmful content. Companies delivering adult content in the UK must take steps to make sure these sites are behind age verification controls.”

So basically, if you run a porn site in the UK, move it. Oh, and those family-friendly filters? Think again.

I’ve done a word frequency cloud of the most common search terms that end up on my blog logs for the past year. The result is… unexpected. The winner, by a large margin, leads to an random blog post (nsfw) from December 2013. A laaaaaaaaaaaarge part of the other popular terms are also nsfw-related.

Except for Michel Roux Senior’s Lemon Tart recipe.

I love my blog.

PS: for future reference, if you want to make a wordle-compatible frequency map, use the following script with a csv file that has the count in the first column and the word(s) in the second column:

#!/bin/bash

filename="$1"
while read -r line
do
  COUNT=`echo $line | cut -f1 -d','`
  TERM=`echo $line | cut -f2 -d',' | sed "s/ /~/g"`
  for (( c=1; c<=$COUNT; c++ ))
    do
      echo -n "$TERM "
    done
done < "$filename"
