Colbert on Wikipedia

Continuing the theme of yesterday's entry, Jimmy Wales (Gel Gel '05, euroGel speaker) is on a roll. Stephen Colbert recently asked viewers to edit Wikipedia with some wishful thinking on african elephants, to create "a reality we can all agree on." He called it "wikiality."

Wikipedia locked the article on african elephants as a result of viewers following Colbert's instructions. (That's right: a fake news show got people to write fake facts in an online encyclopedia. Welcome to today's media environment!)

(Thanks, Jerry Michalski)
