steven colbert why can't this guy knock it off this page was just fine until he opened his big mouth he has given the wikiadministrators a lot of greif what's his problem because it's funny god forbid people should cause you grief by opening their big mouths you should complain about that to an authority figure it's a fact that people get paid to write biased things on wikipedia and the content can be bought if you believe wikipedia is an encyclopedia with good information and other good things then he's right reality is a commodity wikipedia told me so and i believe what i read on wikipedia vandalism does not make things better so how many people with the attitude that reality is a commodity does it take before it's reality i have peer reviewed the idea that reality is a commodity and i agree in fact i've decided to pick it up i love this stuff fred pays jim to lob a brick thorough a shopkeeper's window who gets the blame the shopkeeper i see what you did there but there's more backstory to that shopkeeper than meets the eye so there's this shopkeeper right and this shopkeeper he has a shop that doesn't exactly sell anything he just stands in his shop all day and gives people answers to whatever they want to know now people start noticing this shopkeeper and they feed the shopkeeper information to answer these questions as well as asking them things they need to know it becomes a tightly knitted community things go well until people start to unquestioningly believe what the shopkeeper has to offer these people here they forget that people like them are the ones feeding him information and that whoever fed the shopkeeper this information might be just as clueless as they are but they keep asking and the shopkeeper keeps telling then fred here comes along and notices this from an outside perspective he notices the fundamental flaw in that the advice people are getting from the shopkeeper is just as flawed as the people who told the shopkeeper the information in the first place so fred goes up to these people and points this out to them but nobody seems to care they're all happy as can be asking their shopkeeper whatever they need to know and blindly believing what he has to offer some of them even retaliate against fred for disrupting their bubble of ignorance fred knows there's nothing that he fred can do to stop this situation but fred here he knows that if something isn't done people will continue to flock to the shopkeeper like cancer patients to the messiah and fred knows guys and these guys well they just happen to own a few bricks so fred calls up jim slips him some money and jim lobs a brick through the shopkeepers window of course in this instance the shopkeeper is wikipedia the shopkeeper's devout followers are people who use the wiki religiously fred is steven colbert jim is anyone willing to follow steven and bricks are the messages of those willing people who think that that anyone who uses the wiki religiously and is willing to attack somebody for calling them on it should take a step back and look at things in perspective so the shopkeeper had it coming a steven colbert is funy and he is only useing he's first amendment right to freedom of speech is the reality article ever going to be unlocked
