# The Sun caught out by Wiki prank - lol
.
A guy I work with managed to (inadvertedly) get his mate's name in The Sun on Friday.

He changed a Wiki page as a prank ages ago saying his mate Mike had become John Barnes' assistant as coach of Jamaica.

Lo and behold under the '55 British Managers Abroad' feature printed last week, there he was: '10. Mike Commane'.

Yayyyyy. Lazy journalism rulesz :))))

# Did it also mention
that not only was this in the news back in January, but the price increase could go as high as 6p on a box of tea?

# Lovely response
I shall steal that and use it in conversation, if I may?

Though, of course, that'd mean it's not stolen.

Er...

I've confused myself now.

I said "useful knowledge resource"...

People who deliberately put falsehoods into wikipedia really annoy me though. Even stupid ones.

# I love Wikipedia
Have to be careful though or I can waste hours on it. Much like b3ta.

The Daily Mail is an important source of information to fascist idiots.

# I despise the place.
But only because when involved in internet arguments, people will blindly quote 'facts and figures' from it as though it is a reliable resource for truth.
