Mccain/Palin Wikipedia Vandalism Fun

Now, first of all, I want to make it clear that I do not condone vandalism on Wikipedia at all. It’s childish and stupid as a lot of people depend on this information for various legitimate uses. Since I have that out of the way, I would like to share this really fucking hilarious Mccain/Palin Wikipedia vandalism that I just uncovered. On my regularly scheduled article browsing I eventually stumbled on the article for the classic 1913 play by George Bernard Shaw, Pygmalion. Upon reading the article I checked the Adaptations subsection. I noticed the usual expected list of adaptations including one very interesting medium for an adaptation of a play.

• Hoi Polloi (1935), a film adaptation by The Three Stooges
• Pygmalion (1938), a film adaptation by Shaw.
• My Fair Lady (1956), the Broadway musical by Lerner and Loewe, based on the 1938 film.
• My Fair Lady (1964), a film version of the musical starring Audrey Hepburn and Rex Harrison.
• Trading Places (1983), a comedy film starring Eddie Murphy, Dan Aykroyd and Jamie Lee Curtis.
• Pretty Woman (1990), a modern film take on Pygmalion starring Julia Roberts and Richard Gere.
• The John McCain presidential campaign, 2008, starring Sarah Palin and John McCain.

Upon further scanning of the article and about five minutes of uncontrollable laughter at the inherent truth in the current political situation, I came across another gem under the References In Pop Culture section.

• In The Fresh Prince of Bel Air episode “Kiss My Butler”, Geoffrey uses Naomi Campbell‘s accent to work out her precise residence in London, although he is mistaken by one block. This is a reference to the way that people’s accents were used to identify their location within London in the play.
• In The Simpsons episode “Pygmoelian“, Moe Szyslak has cosmetic surgery in order to be socially accepted. The show also made reference to Pygmalion in the episode “My Fair Laddy” where Lisa Simpson makes a bet with her brother Bart Simpson that she can turn Groundskeeper Willie into a proper gentleman by the school science fair.
• In the Boy Meets World episode “Turnaround”, Cory and Shawn enlist the help of a friend to turn Cory’s date to the dance popular. Shawn gets the idea from reading Pygmalion in English Class.
• In 2008, John McCain nominated Eliza Doolittle to be his VP candidate.

Well, you know what they say; you can put lipstick on a Pygmalion but…
