‘We are not slaves or “crap”.’
The Onion’s AV Club, consistently one of the best reads the interwebs has to offer, has apparently had some time on its hands.
To wit, they came up with a list of ‘12 surprisingly controversial Wikipedia pages‘. We probably shouldn’t think too hard about the Wikitrail that led this endeavor (or the number of hours ‘wasted’) because it’s hilarious.
My favorite is #4: Rotary International.
As users AndyJones, Aldux, and Bridesmill try to repair the damage, M. Larcin starts sections called “CONTROVERSY OR SEGREGATION? vote here!” and “The blanking of Rotarian Conferencemakers by BridesMill- Polemic,” while accusing his opponents of being “pro-Episcopalian theists” and “racist against French.”
My brief perusal of the ‘talk’ section yielded the comment in the title. Another random grab below:
I am a democrat, I mean a French socialist. I mean that I am then a traitor, a cynical, a pervert and a *foul language removed* communist.
Priceless.
