Looks like someone altered the "Conservatism in the United States" entry at Wikipedia. The first two sentences of the second paragraph are very funny, but fess up, who did it? :)

8. why does that make me against humor?
I just don't like people shitting on other people's relatively serious work for a laugh.

10. I guess it depends if you consider wikipedia as "serious work"
Which, I don't. Maybe that's the conflcit.

12. ok, i see that
Edited on Sun Mar-11-07 01:09 PM by realisticphish
I think it comes from being on SomethingAwful a lot; whenever a site gets goonrushed (when posters go nuts on their boards) a cardinal rule is to NEVER EVER vandalize wiki, since we all use it so much. It's actually a banable offense in some circumstances.


It's all good, it doesn't matter all that much to me :shrug:

edit: btw, in case it wasn't clear in my first response, i wasn't saying "i don't see anything humorous" in references to conservative jokes. There was literally nothing funny there, since the wiki mods had apparently already changed it back
