The Word: "Wikiality"
I'm hooked on Comedy Central's The Colbert Report. Whether you're a fan of Colbert, not a fan or never heard of him... you'll still want to see his parody of Wikipedia.
The day after this segment was broadcast Cobert was blocked from Wikipedia. Could this be the reason?
Colbert ... urged his audience to find the Wikipedia entry on elephants and create an entry that stated their population had tripled in the last six months, a fact he freely stated to not know if it was "actually true," with his sidebar stating "it isn't." Guess what happened next?Scores of internet users took Colbert's bait, repeatedly vandalizing approximately 20 articles on elephants before all being placed under a lock. The move also subsequently caused Wikipedia administrator Tawker to block Stephen Colbert from the website, reportedly to verify his identity. Either Tawker is incapable of checking the above log times that corroborate Colbert, or, more likely, he just wants to be mentioned on Stephen's show (as evidenced by his notes on the block and blog entry).
