modified page, brought to you by The Voices of Many <http://www.thevoicesofmany.com/>. The original, unedited version as originally found on the Internet, can be found here <http://drupal.org/>." It's just a service which takes the original page and shows a modified copy of it, on the fly. There are many sites who do this: turns the page into a sex website, puts a big poo in the middle etc. Alexandru Badiu Kobus Myburgh wrote:

Not sure if this is for entertainment only or any useful purpose,
but
it had me a bit baffled about the motivation for doing so much effort... Complete duplication of several of the support sites as well...
Strange?

Sheesh. That's harsh. Sorry to hear about your balls.

Keep in mind that it's not something explicitly done by the maintainers of the site. You just hit their URL, and feed your destination URL into its CGI. Some sites use that technique to offer on-the-fly translation from one language to another, definitely a useful feature. Others feed it through classic 'silly filters' that have been floating around the new for years, like Pig Latin or Elmer Fudd or the Swedish Chef (from The Muppet Show.) It's not really anything to worry about. --Jeff
