Lots of people have been caught doing naughty things on Wikipedia:

http://blog.wired.com/27bstroke6/wikiwatch/

Someone made a search tool to link anonymous ip addresses to the registrant of those addresses. Now we see someone at Fox smearing Olberman et al, someone at NYT saying Bush is a "jerk jerk jerk jerk jerk jerk jerk jerk jerk jerk jerk jerk" (http://www.reason.com/blog/show/121970.html), Scientologist blaming Ritalin for Cobain's suicide, etc.

Search for your favorite corporation here:

1) It's not pronouced "FAUX NEUWS" for nothing.
2) On the made in China statue, I am reminded of the immortal worlds of Mr. Welch from Army v. McCarthy, "Have you no shame, at long last, have you no sense of decency left?" But then it was probably a Bush Administration Appointee who made the decision, so that would just be an oxymoronic question.
