IMDb Staff: Please delete and block these keywords

Dear IMDb Staff:

Here are a few more random keywords that should be deleted and blocked from the system.

Subjective Keywords to Delete and Block

The following two keywords may not appear at first glance to be subjective, but take a look at how they have been used.

The first keyword has mostly been used on titles involving sabotage or violence by animal rights activists, and is therefore (mostly) being used in a subjective manner. And even on other titles, this keyword has sometimes been used where a character thinks or believes that the ends justify the means, but that is not objectively true (neither within the plot nor to the viewer). Overall, this keyword is subjective. 

end-justifies-the-means (25 titles)

The second keyword is an odd, idiosyncratic keyword that appears to be the contributor's gripe about titles based on true stories where the contributor feels the title does not accurately get all the facts right. Even if the contributor is correct, that belongs in a title's trivia section, not in the keyword section. 

scenario-which-perverts-facts (11 titles)

Vague Keywords to Block  

This keyword is vague because it referred to both Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton. The keyword has been audited and reduced to zero titles, so no deletion is required. 

clinton (6 titles)

Poorly Formatted Keywords to Delete and Block 

These keywords should be self-explanatory for why they should be deleted and blocked.

everyone (5 titles)

i-love-you (8 titles)

no-gore (2 titles)

no-narration (16 titles)

no-voice-over (1 title)
