Uncyclopedia on John Seigenthaler (the Wikipedia controversy guy)
John Lee Harvey Oswald Seigenthaler Sr. was the assistant to Attorney General Robert Kennedy in the early 1960's. A well known Nazi sympathizer, he is also known to have been directly involved in numerous assasinations, including the deaths of John F. Kennedy, his brother Bobby, John F. Kennedy Jr., and Princess Diana. He has also been accused of involvement in Voldemortgate and the Crusades. This is definitely proven and NOT LIBEL.

Wikipedia Controversy

Around the same time of the Uncyclopedia controversy, an Uncyclopedia parody site called Wikipedia, infamous for its unsatirical and unfunny articles in which truth is ignored, ran a humorous article on John Seigenthaler joking that he had never taken part in any assassination, and was rather a kindergarten teacher of the mentally challenged and proponent of free speech. Upon discovery of the article, Seigenthaler was heard to say, "I'm going to fucking bury that guy, I have done it before, and I will do it again. I'm going to fucking kill Wikipedia!"

And fucking kill Wikipedia he did. John Seigenthaler sued to have the proper information, regarding his assassinations, Nazi history, and ties to the Republican party, placed into the site. The lawsuit also resulted in the imposition of editing restrictions on the site (which had previously been open to editing by anyone), including a requirement for a hall-pass signed in triplicate by at least 2 members of Congress for clearance to use direct articles in an article. Seigenthaler appeared briefly on CNN with Wikipedia founder Wim Wenders and strangled him with the entrails of a kitten he had beaten to death with another, slightly larger, kitten.
