I wished he removed some of those words though and I really want to believe that people don't use racist commit messages.



Interesting that he _almost_ starts out with George Carlins "seven dirty words" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Dirty_Words - but then continues with additional words that're unlikely to be indicative of anything particularly humorous or interesting.

This is _almost_ funny. But anybody who thinks you can make up jokes using SQL or regex probably isn't the sort of person you'd pay to see at a comedy club.

Unless, perhaps, they're a particularly talented computational linguist with a huge corpus of comedy material loaded up in a big real-time analysis cluster. Hmmmm, there's some ideas here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_humor - maybe this would be more amusing if the commit comments were passed into the "That's what she said" double entendre algorithm?
