Well, that is what has been absent here in the midst of all the mocking.
What was made fun of, was obviously not by the people running the site,
nor is there any clear indication that the particular content will remain
there. Sure, people will make fun of it. Wikipedia is constantly made fun
of on equally solid ground. Of course it happens. But the point is that if
it is not valid (although all too human) to make fun of wikipedia in this
fashion, it is not that devastating a critique against another site with
much less resources than wikipedia to catch vandalism.
