Wikipedia Debates Rorschach Censorship
GigsVT writes "Editors on Wikipedia are engaged in an epic battle over a few piece of paper smeared with ink. The 10 inkblot images that form the classic Rorschach test have fallen into the public domain, and so including them on Wikipedia would seem to be a simple choice. However, some editors have cited the American Psychological Association's statement that exposure of the images to the public is an unethical act, since prior exposure to the images could render them ineffective as a psychological test. Is the censorship of material appropriate, when the public exposure to that material may render it useless?"
Everyone knows they're all pictures of boobs anyway.
Tiller's Rule: Never use a word in written form that you've only heard and never read. You will end up looking foolish.
Wait until the optometrists discover that Wikipedia is using an uncensored Snellen eye chart. Pssst! The big letter at the top is an "E."
"How to Do Nothing," kids activities, back in print!
I am both a dope smoker and a scientifically-minded person, you insensitive clod!
I think the doubt thrown on the validity of the tests is all over the place anyway. Why not just let the tests out and end the debate there?
They are useful. Here were my answers: butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly. Based on my answers, my analyst, Dr. Lector, said I was a tedious but promising candidate to be a murderous sociopath. He said it was going to take some work, though. I'm now in a cage taking heavy doses of barbiturates "to help me with my progress". I'm still waiting for the next phase of treatment when I get the spinal injections before being forced to listen to Beethoven's Ode to Joy and watching Nazis have sex with prostitutes.
Who would have thought so much treatment could be advised from how one interprets bilaterally symmetric and colorful images that have the same vague appearance as a major phylogeny from the tree of life. I feel better already!
Just callin' it like I see it.
I too scoff at the validity of these so called Rorschach tests. Any Phrenologist will tell you the only thing that really matters is the shape of your head. For you see, the form of the cranium represents the form of the brain, and thus reflects the relative development of the brain organs.
hmmm, I saw butterfly, red x, red x, red x, red x, red x, red x, butterfly, butterfly, red x
You sound angry. Tell me how you feel about this.
Does it please you to believe that I sound angry tell you how I feel about this?

She'd say: "Oh God, he's never going to move out is he?"
