Wikiality-it's contagious
Further fandom-
Stephen Colbert mentions Wikipedia-Heroes log on en masse and begin editing articles for "Wikiality"
For a brief but hilarious moment-captured by addicted fans with mad internetz skillz the world can read about how Oregon is Canada's Mexico and California's Canada but really it's Idaho's Portugal. It's true-it's on Wikipedia. In the same segment he stated that the amount of African Elephants had tripled!!! He tells the viewers to log in and change the entry to reflect that reality-so several someones informs the world! (Sorry-only a screen cap-since it's been de-truthied.
Wikipedia is not pleased-everything related to or tangentially approaching the Colbert Nation is locked.
The fangirls laugh maniacally-Meanwhile at colbernation.com:
6 pages of discussions on Elephants
It is truly a great moment in fan history.
And here I was gushing over the Monopoly thing. When obviously the real power of Colbert is not in his ability to hold a grudge over a thirty year old board game played in a nefarious manner-no, his skill is in breaking the Internets.
This has got to be the best abuse of an open forum I've seen in ages. And I was too busy laughing to spread the Wikiality. God--dammit.
Oh wow, there's still a real world-and I have only just learned there was a shooting at the Citgo at McGavock and Riverside. Like a drive-by. At 3pm yesterday afternoon. Helicopters over the house again and all that. But I was at work-so I missed it. Good.
