don't use Track-me-not

unfortunately, i'm having some trouble with Track-me-not. The idea is great, and I would like to use a tool like that, unfortunately, there is no option to add your own wordlist and search queries.

Instead it uses a wordlist that I don't want to use. It keeps on querying things like 'red sox' , 'knut', 'veronica mars', 'Paris Hilton' , 'Britney spears', 'tupac' ,'flag day' , etc etc. I would never search for anything like that, simply because it is stupid (american) crap and i'm not interested in that.

Does it matter?
well, querying search engines for this kind of crap makes media-companies think that that is what we ask for and what we want. So they will put more of that on the web or tv, newspapers, radio, etc.
That is just the opposite of what i would like to use it for.

It would be a cool add-on if you could use you're own word-list.
