HAHAHAHAHA (HAHAHAHAHA) more netizen news.

Damn, it's a big news day for those interested in Korean netizens. The Dong-A Ilbo tells us that netizens are vandalizing the Lee Myung-bak Wikipedia entry. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the article's conclusion, holy fucking shit:
The semi-protection measure has been taken by an administrator selected by Wikipedia.

The measure is a side effect of the collective intelligence among Korean Internet users.

Thanks to "The Goat" for the scoop. You'll remember there have been similar cases of vandalism-gone-wild on articles for the Liancourt Rocks, the Sea of Japan, Yi Sun-shin, and Kenkanryu. Actually, pretty much anything having to do with anything at all Asia- or Korea-related will invite vandalism and race-baiting between Asian nationalities and Hyphenated-Americans, so that's why I always disable comments on my youtube videos.

I don't see that comment on the page. Do I have to have an account to see it?

Ah, sorry, I meant that it was in the Dong-A Ilbo article.
