iRev - Ajax - jQuery

Thomas, do the uploaders have to make up their own insults. It might be nice to have a catalog of insults to choose from. 

There used to be a bar in Chicago which was famous for insulting its customers. I assume it is still there. You could make a deal with the restaurant to insult all of their customers.
