Now we've /really/ hit the big time. </sarcasm> Anyway, the popular gaming-centric webcomic Penny Arcade pokes fun at Wikipedia with its latest comic, available at http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic. Interestingly, the comic seems to be inspired by a bad experience Tycho, one of the comic's creators, had with Wikipedia, and his "rant" (http://www.penny-arcade.com/) seems rather critical. Also, the comic sparked some discussion on the forums: http://www.penny-arcade.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=208105.
The irony is that Skeletor's legions of anonymous sock puppets are completely failing to make any vandalism stick on that article in real life. Typical, really. None of Skeletor's evil schemes ever remains in effect by the time the episode is over.
Anyone know what, specifically, Tycho's upset about? The rant indicates it's something that he posted got deleted. A friend of mine who reads Penny Arcade gave me a vague description of it that suggests to me that it _should_ have been deleted, but extra eyes never hurts.
