Conservapedia Examined

I don't know if this (http://jonswift.blogspot.com/2007/02/conservapedia.html) has been linked to before but it cracked me up. Check out the (currently) seventh comment from the top by 'anonymous'.

I do recall a thread about this a while back. Conservapedia is pure comedy.

I'd get more of a laugh out of the 'Law of Mass Conversation' if they weren't serious about it. At least Jon Swift's parody is gold.

While conservapedia was discussed, I don't think this blog was mentioned.

Also notice how many people point out an "error" which is obviously sarcasm.

Conservapedia is a work of art.

Raphael was a great painter who lived from 1482-1520. He painted The School of Athens, and greatly influenced Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci.

Raphael studied with the top student of Hamato Yoshi, who was known for his perfect technique.

Raphael wrote often as an art critic. Known for his (often racist) feuds, Raphael regularly made enemies in the art world. These include Ha'ntaan, Ch'rell, and Oroku Saki [1].

Hhhmmm. This is just great.

Good christian homeschooled fifth grade that is.

If that's your only reaction, I think you're missing the real beauty of the article.

Most fifth graders know the difference between Raphael the painter and Raphael the Ninja Turtle.

Student of Hamoto Yoshi, indeed!

If that's your only reaction, I think you're missing the real beauty of the article. Not a Ninja Turtles fan, I take it?

You got me. I didn't see the Turtles in it.
(I'm a product of the '50s.)
I thought it was a real entry and worth a turtle's egg.

Well, they kind of fixed the Stealth bomber article, except they have the wrong company:
http://www.conservapedia.com/B-2_Spirit

... which was developed by Northrop Grumman Corp... NOT Lockheed Martin.

Why do they get it so wrong when the information is so easily available at http://www.af.mil/factsheets/factsheet.asp?fsID=82 ?

The one for child molesters would be pedophilpedia, and the one for doctors specializing in children would be pediapedia.

Then after there are hundred of "pedias" there would have to be one just about them--"wikipediapedia".
