Or hipster ipsum: http://hipsteripsum.me/

Voluptate enim officia dreamcatcher 3 wolf moon sunt. Irure beard fanny pack, excepteur sapiente minim terry richardson bicycle rights PBR stumptown mcsweeney's reprehenderit. Leggings brunch sustainable, organic vice do nisi fixie dolor cred sartorial. You probably haven't heard of them mcsweeney's tofu laboris keffiyeh vegan fap, four loko tumblr +1 wolf ullamco.

Or the Bogan Ipsum: http://www.boganipsum.com/ (Which is randomly generated)

Stands out like a show pony bloody come a ratbag. Get a dog up ya yakka mate flat out like a amber fluid. Built like a metho mate as cross as a skite. Mad as a hit the turps piece of piss as stands out like down under. Lets throw a rage on with shazza got us some mates. Gutful of longneck mate we're going lizard drinking. He hasn't got a metho heaps mad as a barbie. She'll be right shag on a rock where he hasn't got a freckle. Shazza got us some bounce bloody mad as a spag bol. Shazza got us some fremantle doctor also shazza got us some doovalacky. Lets throw a bottlo he's got a massive smoko.

I was expecting copy like "lorem fucking ipsum" but this is even better.

I like it for the cheeky service it is, my only concern is that with Ipsum you can tell its fake copy at a glimpse. If you start using dialog it may be easy to over look it and have it make it to a live version. Still, cool service none the less.

I agree. Also, keep in mind that the other point of the Lorem Ipsum is that it is nonsense. It is more or less gibberish even if you can read Latin, so when you look at it, you see the text for how it looks, not for its content. With something like this, you are more likely to actually read the text, and thus not notice the spacing, positioning, etc.

Creating a Lorum Ipsum generator seems to be on of those projects a lot of people try at one point or another. I recently created Guttenberg Ipsum http://guttenberg.templaedhel.com/ which pulls sentences from Project Guttenberg books for random content. Currently have some small kinks in the parsing, but in general it works fairly well.

Font rendering looks a bit off. The Buttons are somewhat hard to read. (I'm on Ubuntu - Chrome dev. & Firefox)

Looks off on OS X FF6 as well.

I don't care what the service is, or the actual contents of the page, but the content it generates would be really bad to use in any placeholder text that could potentially be shared to a customer or other department within your organization; for example:

    Look, just because I don't be givin' no man a foot massage don't make it right for Marsellus to throw Antwone into a glass motherfuckin' house, fuckin' up the way the nigger talks. Motherfucker do that shit to me, he better paralyze my ass, 'cause I'll kill the motherfucker, know what I'm sayin'?

I was hoping that it generated SLJ-esque text at random (Markov chain!), but it looks like it just chooses from a set of 10 paragraphs :( .

This reminds me of Fillerama: http://chrisvalleskey.com/fillerama/

(filler text from a couple different shows/movies)

This may be one of the greatest things I've ever seen. It's both productive and hilarious. That being said I would be horrified to either send or receive anything with this in it.

Great job collecting paragraph-length quotes from the movie! I love it.

This is motherfucking awesome!
