Colbert banned from Wikipedia


Stephen Colbert has been banned from Wikipedia for prompting an online prank of the user driven and edited encyclopedia.
Colbert urged his audience to find the Wikipedia entry on elephants and create an entry that stated their population had tripled in the last six months, a fact he freely stated to not know if it was "actually true," with his sidebar stating "it isn't." Guess what happened next?
Priceless.
