Graphic designers know "greeking" as a sequence of Latin words used to fill a space until actual copy is written. But they're no longer limited to the old standby, "Lorem ipsum dolor" et cetera. The Greeking Machine offers a choice of gobbledygook, including up to 50 paragraphs in the dialect known as Marketing:
Velvety parents happy, know one soaking unique it's incredible, desire. Than care also action yet sweet zippy drink amazing choice. Miracle secret just recommended, that 100% whiter available one, advertising permanent successful sporty.

Also available in Hillbilly, Pseudo German ("Handercloppen stein glockenspiel und gestalt spritz"), Metropolitan ("Pedigree townhome polo stockmarket"), Technobabble, The Matrix, and, of course, Classical Latin.
Except the Pseudo German will have to contain some random umlauts.

A car ad I was watching on tv the other day caught my eye when I noticed that the "newspaper" that was filled with "praise" for their product was actually filled with Lorem Ipsum. Mr. MRP (who is a different kind of word nerd, more of the scholarly, literary kind) said, "I NEVER would have noticed that."

Looks like this would also be useful for generating the text of spam emails, so as to try to fool Bayesian filters.
