The failure to recognize that BJAODN deliberately violates the norms of the rest of Wikipedia in order to make the culture healthier and the encyclopedia better (similar to how people can experiment in the Sandbox, but not the mainspace) is extraordinarily disappointing.
Norms is fine, policies is not. "Jimmy Doe is a retard" should not be kept /anywhere/, and the indiscriminate archiving of childish vandalism is also not something we should seek to encourage. Genuinely funny nonsense I will defend and help to make GFDL compliant. There have been some genius edits along these lines, although not so many I think since Uncyclopedia came along - most long-term Wikipedians are now responsible enough to put real nonsense in uncyclopedia.
Most of what's in BJAODN would be speedily deleted from Uncyclopedia citing http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/UN:HTBFANJS
Of course it is well known that I am vehemently opposed to the inclusion of humour in any form in project space, and if BJAODN is undeleted I will be donning my Spider-Man suit and climbing the Reichstag in protest, in clear defiance of policy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:NCR).
