Wiki Whacked
The noble endeavor known as Wikipedia is a comprehensive, living encyclopedia that every internet citizen can contribute to. But what exactly happens when the masses are given such privilege? You get entries like "Adolph Hitler, also known as Einar, is a complete dickhead."
An original piece for Radar.

Or why not let the vandals run free and create their own encyclopedia - the Uncyclopedia

I've done one Wiki edit -- I added a link to the Twinkies page: the "No Bake Fake Twinkies" link. I'm holding my breath to see if someone deems it unworthy of Wiki-ness. It's been up for about a week, I think, and so far, so good. I would take it quite personally should it be removed, as it is my own original copycat Twinkies recipe, and I spent dozens of minutes tweaking it until it was just right.
