Stop making sense

You might find this a difficult read.

It's not mean to make sense; it's a Labour Day present from the Nieman Labs in the USA - a generator of random American new media journo-babble, designed to replace that Latin chunter people used to use when needing blocks of print to test new layouts - the stuff that always begins "Lorem ipsum...".  Better than the Latin, this machine generates a new block of blather at each click.

I'm indebted to UK social media's own Lucy Thorpe for the tip; no babble there.
