Irrelevant Importance » Conservapedia http://www.irrelevantimportance.com Life, art, politics, technology and the meaninglessness that matters to me.

I would link that project here, but two hours later and the site is still giving a 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable message. Stephen Colbert, unleasher of the unintentional denial of service attack. I love it.

Even better, from Conservapedia's article on Stephen Colbert (still available on Google cache):

"Colbert has poked fun at Wikipedia and its apparent democratization of truth. He has coined the word "Wikiality" (as opposed to "reality,") and caused trouble for Wikipedia by suggesting that his listeners alter articles. In August of 2006, he encouraged users to state that the population of African elephants had tripled in the last decade. Colbert's point was that if enough people believe something, it becomes "the truth." Wikipedia responded by reverting and locking down the pages to prevent further vandalism."

I just had an awesome tofu cheesesteak, and it was nowhere near as delicious as the irony here. Thank you Stephen, for being awesome.
