Senate Candidate’s Development Website Filler Text Extensively Quoted Ron Paul Newsletter

A web development snafu.


Dan Sullivan is a former attorney general of Alaska and is running for Senate as a Republican against incumbent Democratic Sen. Mark Begich.


On Thursday afternoon, Sullivan's campaign website was online — but when searching on Google for Sullivan's issues page, a development version of the site could also be found.


The filler text on the development site quoted extensively from newsletters published by former Rep. Ron Paul.


Brian Donahue, a partner at CRAFT, a digital firm doing work for the Sullivan campaign, said the filler text was a vendor issue — and not something the Sullivan campaign did.


“We were made aware of so-called dummy copy, found on a development site, not on the Dan Sullivan campaign site,” Donahue said in a statement to BuzzFeed. “Normally, placeholder copy is used during the development process. We contacted the vendor and they removed it. This is a mistake of a developer and not of the campaign.”


A draft of the new website was online at “http://ift.tt/1j9tbNn” (It has since been taken down since BuzzFeed asked about it).

“We assume that by keeping the already known torture pictures from the public's eye, we will be remembered only as a generous and good people. The younger generation is interested in experimenting. A dangerous war now spreads throughout the Middle East and Central Asia. Thousands of innocent people being killed as we become known as the torturers of the 21st century. Get rid of it. Get rid of it.”

What Estate Agents Say Vs. What They Really Mean

“Some work needed.”



stanfair/iStock/Kevin Brine/Shutterstock/Tom Phillips/BuzzFeed


“Early viewing recommended” – it's gone already

“An exciting opportunity has arisen” – in shock news, we have a house available

“Up-and-coming area” – might not be horrible in a decade's time

“Increasingly popular area” – horrible, but lots of people are as desperate as you

“Popular area” – you can't afford to live here

“Sought-after location” – only Russian oligarchs can afford to live here

“Borders on X” – don't tell people you live in X if you ever want them to find your house

“Deceptively spacious” – not spacious

“Cosy” – really not spacious

“Perfectly sized” – humans can barely fit in this

“Bijou” – humans cannot fit in this

“Compact” – cats cannot fit in this

“Charming” – doesn't have stairs

“Quaint” – doesn't have windows

“Rustic” – doesn't have a roof

“Authentic” – is made of mud and straw

“Unique” – does not comform with the laws of physics



sarievanrooyen/iStock/Tom Phillips/BuzzFeed


“Easy access into the city” – it's not in the city

“An extensive range of shopping facilites nearby” – there's a Tesco Metro, a newsagents, and a laundrette you'll never use

“A substantial double fronted detached house” – it is a detached house

“An exceptional period conversion flat” – it is an old flat

“A well presented two double bedroom maisonette” – it's an expensive flat so we're trying to make this sound classy

“Superb lounge” – it has a lounge

“It has a wonderful flowing entertaining space” – I'm basically just talking crap now

“Fully fitted kitchen” – good news, you won't need to provide your own sink

“WC / bathroom” – there's a toliet, but we call it a WC because it makes it sound slightly more upmarket than just us saying the word toilet

“The development is located minutes away from this incredible city attraction” – you will visit the attraction twice, even though you can see it every time you sit on the WC / toilet

“The flat has an open day” – you will have less than an hour to purchase this house, otherwise it will be gone forever and your dreams will lie in ruins

“Well presented” – they hoovered before you arrived

“Superbly presented” – they stuck some daffodils in a jug too

“A building full of character” – it was designed by MC Escher and decorated by a psychopath

“A building with a lot of history” – look at this dent, look at this dent, look at this dent, is that a bloodstain?

“This apartment has heating and carpets fitted” – we're running out of stuff to say about this flat so I am just listing stuff you normally find in a house

“Key deposit” – give us money

“Reservation fee” – give us money

“Administration paperwork fee” – give us £100 to do some photocopying or you're homeless

If Daft Punk Remixed “Flappy Bird,” You Would Get This Amazing Game

Meet Wave Wave , the neon-techno nightmare that will take over your life.



In Wave Wave , the new mobile game from the Aussie indie developer Thomas Janson, you play as a zig-zagging line. That's right, a line, like an electroencephalograph or a heart rate graph or a line graph of the stock market. Your only goal is to prevent the zigs from zagging into the black stalac- and stalagmites jutting into your path. Oh, and the screen is rotating and warping. Oh, and your timing has to be better than perfect. Oh, and you're already on edge because the music is pounding.


It looks like this:



Butt-clenchingly difficult, Wave Wave will remind veteran indie gamers of the terrific Super Hexagon, and it makes a terrific mobile companion piece to the nigh-impossible Dark Souls 2 . It only costs three bucks to put you on the edge of the danciest panic attack you'll ever have. Beats speed.
