Down with Wikipedia

Wikipedia is a wonderful open-source encyclopedia project, maintained online by thousands of worldwide contributors who compose, edit, and monitor articles about every topic imaginable. The content is updated by the minute, and has vastly more current information than any printed encyclopedia ever could.

But, on the Down side, you'll get the occasional saboteur who wants to have fun with his editorial freedom. Such was the case with this front page Featured Article on November 4, 2006. Notice the funny caption, "A child with Down syndrome about to get hurt". I took a screenshot of it, because, well, you know the drill—just a few minutes later, that retarded, prophetic caption was corrected by the Wikipedia cops, to read, "A child with Down Syndrome using an electric drill."

Oh, so you mean the trolling was fixed very quickly.

I get it.
