Lafftrip

It was already past midnight. His eyes were close to exploding since he has been in front of the monitor since early morning. After spending hours and hours of playing his new PC game and downloading tunes from Limewire, he decided to open his favorite website, the Wikipedia to infosurf once again and overload himself of trashy information.

Links after links, he found articles that would trace back to the early stirrings of the wikiproject. His research was so deep and profound that in the end, what he discovered is a treasure trove of information whose relevance far outweighs those he had found in wikipedia so far.
Presenting the Uncyclopedia*, the first silly editable free-source "encyclopedia" in the world.

"Uncyclopedia, "the content-free encyclopedia that anyone can edit,"[1] is a satirical parody of Wikipedia, though Uncyclopedia claims the reverse. The site was launched in January 2005 by Jonathan Huang and an unnamed counterpart (known to Uncyclopedia internals as 'Stillwaters' or 'Euniana'), and claims to be a project of the "Uncyclomedia Foundation", a fictitious parody of the Wikimedia Foundation.

The self-proclaimed mission of Uncyclopedia is to provide a SPOV, or Satirical Point of View in the wiki format. However, it frequently deviates from this goal, and produces humorous articles on all topics, most of which are not necessarily satire. Humor of all possible categories enters the wiki, prompting an equally freeflowing response; for example, the originally-vandalistic classification of articles.

Despite the open nature of Uncyclopedia, in which some vandalism can be considered positive, the Uncyclopedia itself suffers from vandalism similar to that of other wikis. For example, occasionally vandals will blank entire pages, insert spam, enter actual factual information (considered one of the most gruesome and inconsiderate gestures possible there), or add messages that specifically promote agendas such as spreading antisemitism, misogyny, racism, anti- or pro Christian bigotry, and homophobia beyond the intentions of tasteful parody. Although the site's editorial policies tend to be quite forgiving, Uncyclopedia's administrators are known to try to remove anything not up to the site's standards. They also ban vandals and other disruptive users."
