Social science

Jon Stewart, lampooning Jonathan Krohn just Monday night:

(I hope that link works.)

So Jonathan Krohn is some kid speaking at CPAC. I'd never heard of him, so I looked him up on that bastion of democratic knowledge, Wikipedia.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Krohn

I was surprised to see that about 5% of his entry is now about being lampooned on the Daily Show. Does that mean if I can get Jon Stewart to make fun of me, and do 19 other things, I can be on wikipedia?

It's not as easy as it sounds.
