I realize that this is a joke, but I can't help but wonder if there is a possible valid use for it. I could imagine needing something that fixed bad js for a crawler that needed JS on a poorly coded site, but I can't think of an occasion where discarded bad code would ever be useful. Maybe if a site deliberately injected bad JS to prevent crawling it would be worthwhile.


I've used this library for loading horrible, third-party javascript:
