“DUD3, 1 4/\/\ |-|3LL4 L3917″

Recently the “leet speak language” has become a danger to society. Kids have been traumitized by their utter pwnage at the hands of 1337 hax0rs. Thankfully the threat has been countered by the Media, and has been subdued…for now.
Due to the threat, Microsoft has launched a campaign against the vicious attacks, and printed their guide to “protect” children from the threat.

I actually find it quite amusing; I think it is sort of funny that someone would get so worked up about a way of talking. Then again, it is a dangerous world out there, so someone might shoot you if you talked like that. I’m truthfully not sure if it is a joke or not. Thankfully I have found some resources to keep the newfangled movement alive (Leet movement > Hyphy movement). Even the evil, homegrown menace (aka Google) is throwing itself into the ring. Enjoy!

A 1337 addon for Firefox

Firefox of course because you can’t use the addon without it (if you don’t have it, you need to get it; I promise that you will get less internet pop-ups and ads)
