dove.org provides movie reviews as a means of pointing parents towards "family-friendly" entertainment. At the end of each review, the reviewer provides a tally of all curse words used throughout the movie. For some reason, dove feels the need to represent curses as euphemisms, normally presented as a short-form of the curse, or with letters replaced by asterisks.
The concept of rating films as family-friendly and tallying the expletives is bizarre enough in itself, but apparently these parents are so sensitive that they themselves do not wish to be exposed to profanity.
In an effort to promote education, rather than hiding the potentially offensive, this greasemonkey script corrects dove's euphemisms, replacing them with their true fucking content.
