| NOW & MoveOn "Professional Activists" File False Rape Claim? »
April 27, 2005
Punk Wikipedia!I didn't give a crap about this stupid site -- quite frankly, I still don't know really what the hell it's supposed to be -- but my readers have now made me hate it. I do that-- I go from "no opinion" to "volcanic black hatred" in 5.3 seconds. People have noticed that you can punk this stupid-ass geek-circle-jerk, so I think we ought to. Andrew, he of "roses are red, violets are blue" fame, just added a newly unearthed historical tidbit to the old boring account of the Battle of Hastings (scan down to "External Links" at bottom): It should also be noted that Indiana Jones took part in the action, riding in an armored canoe pulled by two dragons with wheels for feet; the battle ended when he sliced off the head of Cobra Commander with a garlic press. He later celebrated by swabbing his wang in honey and finding an anthill. Okay... start punking and post your punks here. I'll see about compiling the best of them on Friday or over the weekend. Not a competition, just an exhibition as they say. Stephen Sondheim's Bio Updated: See if you can find the subtle insertion. At about the age of ten, around the time of his parents' divorce, Sondheim became friends with Jimmy Hammerstein. Jimmy's father was the well-known lyricist/playwright Oscar Hammerstein II. Hammerstein taught Sondheim the basics of the musical after the boy came to him with a show he had written for a school performance. Though Hammerstein's reaction was negative, he saw the youngster's potential. As a training exercise, Hammerstein told Sondheim to write four pieces: Did you catch it? That's right-- Hammerstein did not ask Sondheim to compose a musical which would become Climb High. Don't Bother Update: This game is so old they have a big ass page for collecting up "Bad Jokes and Other Deleted Nonsense." Damnit... I'm always three years behind the "cool crowd." posted by Ace at 06:47 PM

"Late to the Party" still seems a good name for your radio show. It's a recurring theme here. But hey, you're at least "fashionably late" as we say in the South. Posted by: Joan of ARgghh! on April 27, 2005 08:53 PM

Re: Nakba Damn they "fix" these things fast - I just made a few improvements and they took them right out. Posted by: on April 27, 2005 11:09 PM
I think that it is safe to say that Wikpedia is a hyper-speed demonstration of Derbyshire's law of organizations. Posted by: holdfast on April 27, 2005 11:09 PM
>I do that-- I go from "no opinion" to "volcanic black hatred" in 5.3 seconds. I went to black hatred for Wikipedia in 5.3 seconds about three weeks ago after I read on Blogs for Terri about the frustrating time they were having trying to correct Wiki's article about Terri. Whatever facts the BFT people tried to put in were instantly removed. Posted by: Snowy on April 27, 2005 11:14 PM

Well, let's see how long it takes them to fix THIS He has been married twice, to Mimi Rogers (May 9, 1987 - February 4, 1990) and later Nicole Kidman (December 24, 1990 - August 8, 2001). Cruise was, for a short time, romantically linked with Penelope Cruz, the lead actress in his film Vanilla Sky. In March 2004, he announced that his relationship with Penelope Cruz had ended in January. As of April 2004 he started dating Katie Holmes, while secretly desiring James Van Der Beek.Hat tip: Allah.

5.3 seconds? You've mellowed in your old age. Posted by: Scott R on April 28, 2005 01:08 AM
How can you have an article about Hastings battle without mentioning the "Battle of Alcee Hastings"? I have corrected this deficiency. Posted by: Done on April 28, 2005 01:10 AM
Re: Cruisin' - it's been "fixed" This is really no fun. Posted by: on April 28, 2005 01:39 AM
The thing is, what if there were an organized attempt to continue changing one particular entry? I mean, they would eep changing it back, but how fast? Posted by: See-Dubya on April 28, 2005 01:56 AM

Ruhollah Khomeini http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruhollah_Khomeini Life in exile He was born in the town of Khomein as Ruhollah Mousavi (روحالله موسوی in Persian) in 1902. As a descendent of the prophet Muhammad, he was entitled to use the style Sayyid before his name. Khomeini was named an ayatollah in the 1950s. In 1964 he was exiled from Iran for his constant criticisms of the government of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. He was sent initially to Turkey, where he learned the time honored tradition of paedophilia before later being allowed to move to Iraq, where he stayed until being forced to leave in 1978, after which he went to Neauphle-le-Château in France. According to Alexandre de Marenches (then head of the French secret services), France suggested to the Shah that they could "arrange for Khomeini to have a lethal accident"; the Shah declined the assassination offer, arguing that this would make him a martyr. Khomeini became one of the most influential opponents to the rule of the Shah, being seen as the spiritual leader of those fighting his rule. During his exile, Khomeini wrote a book titled Me and the Hooter's Chicks, which laid out his beliefs which as; all laws in an Islamic society should be based on the laws of Islam, all laws and activities should be monitored by closed circuit TV(guardians), there should be no king-sized cigarettes (that Islamic countries be a republic of smokers and not a monarchy of squares), and in place of a king there should be an Islamic/Supreme leader elected by the Three Sacred Monkeys of Tsangomaar. The book provides an insight on the eventual political background of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Posted by: mychimo on April 28, 2005 03:11 AM

Wow, Wikipedia is really a great site! Thanks for the great tip. I can't believe it was out there for five years, and I have not heard of it! What a wealth of information! Thank you thank you thank you! Didn't quite get why you think this site is wrong, though. Posted by: Averi on May 5, 2005 09:30 AM
What is your purpose in "punking" Wikipedia? To prove that self-identified "conservatives" enjoy sabotaging other's work, and misleading people? Because that is the image you are projecting. This whole thread seems to be a celebration of fucking up other people's efforts to create something genuinely useful. Do you enjoy vandalizing playgrounds too? Posted by: on May 6, 2005 10:45 PM
Try getting people to take candy from children as your next sad project. Posted by: on May 7, 2005 03:26 PM

the url above has info on what wikipedia is. punking it is a waste of time. being beavis (or butthead) is fun, but get a life. speaking of, the current dusty girl is pretty damn nice. Posted by: Red Lion on May 9, 2005 09:11 PM
That URL for wikipedia info is: http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/commentary/la-0e-sartwell4may04,0,4691427.story?coll=la-news-comment-opinions Posted by: Red Lion on May 9, 2005 09:13 PM
You'll never succeed. You idiots. You think you can make a concerted effort to keep an article vandalised? That article can be protected from editing. You think you can spam a bunch of propaganda? Those articles will get deleted. According to IBM, it takes less than three minutes before vandalism is reverted. Think you can just do a lot of it? Your account will be blocked. YOU ARE DOOMED TO FAIL. I LAUGH IN YOUR FACE FOR IT. HA HA! Posted by: You will fail on May 26, 2005 03:44 AM
Hmm... nice site but be more informative! Posted by: Cari on July 15, 2005 07:52 AM
