Amy: Did you see the insensitive rant that Joe posted on his blog?

Bob: Yeah. I've already sent it to HuffPo and Gawker. Hopefully we can post up where he works for everyone to see.

Amy: Woah, you're running a bluelisting campaign? I was just asking if you'd seen it. Jesus christ, Bob.

bluenose 

According to Webster's Dictionary:

n.- one who attempts to impose his or her
moral code upon others.

In other words: A purtianical person who
tries to dominate your way of life by forcing
THEIR way of life down your throat.

An aggressive prude that engages in censorship,
behaves like a puritain, and condemns you as
if they were a religious zealot because they
are acting like so full of pride when they are
really full of shit.
Some bluenoses get TOO aggressive in their
idea in censorship. They need to get 21st
century and get laid.

bluenose certificate 

A certificate obtained by sailors who pass northwards over the Arctic Circle which (at present, 2010) is located at about latitude 66° 33′ 39″N.

This is similar but not identical to the Crossing The Line certificate which is issued to sailors who pass over the Equator (latitude 0°)
My Bluenose Certificate reads
"All Sailors, wherever ye and whoever ye may be, Greetings.
Know all ye by these presents that Jack Tickler did on the 19 July 1971, appear in the northernmost reaches of my realm, bound for the dark and frosty wastes of the land of the midnight sun and did with our royal consent enter this dread region by crossing the arctic circle by virtue whereof i, neptunus rex, ruler of the raging main do hereby declare him to be a loyal and trusty salt-lined and brine-encrusted bluenose and do call upon all Icebergs, Sea Lions. Narwhals, Polar Bears, Whales, Mermaides and other creatures of the Frigid North to show him due deference and respect.
Disobey under pain of Our Royal Displeasure

Neptunus Rex (Ruler Of The Main)
Aurora Borealis (Queen Of His Pallid Polar Regions)"
