Colbert takes down Wikipedia
Click play to see how Stephen Colbert takes on Wikipedia and discusses his vision for a new "Wikiality," where the masses create the facts they want to believe in. In the segment, Colbert instructs his audience to find the Wikipedia entry on elephants, and edit it to say that "the number of elephants has tripled in the last six months." Not surprisingly, that call to action took down the site temporarily and caused Wikipedia to lock down 20 elephant related Wikipedia pages. A great reality hack from the grand master of reality hacks, Stephen Colbert.
