Wrong and Silly type of Wikipedia

[SushiShin]

I get a sick feeling and a headache when people write nasty stuff about Japan, for example this stupid form of Wikipedia.

I was photoshipping for Koda Kumi and then i found this site:

http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Koda_Kumi

Uncyclopedia a bad form of Wikipedia.

please tell me your opinion about this site.

( :( what a shame for Koda Kumi's reputation i like her!)

It seems very childish. Incredible that someone have spend time and effort to make this kind of rubbish. Why don't you simply ignore it? :mad::beer:

i wish i could, but this workes on my nerves don't you got the feeling too when you saw something stupid or bad that you are a bit angry or upset?
(by the way thanks for the beer :p)

[made of stone]

I agree with Han Chan - try to ignore stuff like this that upsets you - maybe it's also better not to post the link so that other people become upset, too!!

[Pavel123]

What the hell they make fun of X-Japan those *****s!!! :-(

[SushiShin]

uhu, come on Pavel my friend are we going to sue those bastards? :p

hide is the name of the God of Jrock! He created himself in human flesh on the day of December 13th, 1964. He single-handedly inspired an army of Japanese rock stars to take over the world. They will do so on May 25th and 26th in an event called Jrock Revolution, which was planned by Yoshiki, hide's loyal servant.

hide is not to be confused with Hyde, which is the alter ego of Jekyll and was conjured up by a mad scientist named Gackt. Some people claim that hide's name must be written without a capital H because people with pink hair have to spell their names in lowercase letters. In actuality, hide said that his name must be lowercase because he is God and therefore his word is law. Recently there have also been discussions on whether hide has disappeared from Earth's surface. THIS IS A LIE. He is still alive and has recently made many accomplishments in the world of beauty and fashion, such as opening his own salon called LEMONed, starting an Egyptian-based clothing line called Seth et Holth, and shaving Britney Spears' head.

During his childhood, hide was forced to live among mere mortals. As part of his mortal disguise, he cast a spell on himself that temporarily made him obese. However, this caused deep psycological trauma in the form of him being constantly teased by his school mates about his weight. He reversed the spell and began to reconsider his decision to live among the ignorant and undeserving masses. However, his "grandmother" (just a decoy of course so people wouldn't notice that hide was a God) encouraged him to stay by giving him his first guitar.

n 1981 he started to feel better about his decision. He had started an independent rock band named Saver Tiger. When the band released their first album, another musician named Yoshiki managed to get a copy of it, and was very impressed by hide's mad guitar skillz. He decided that he must have hide in his own band. In an act of desperation, he kidnapped the other members of Saver Tiger. He made a phone call to hide, saying: "If you ever want to see your precious band mates again, you will join X Japan as our lead guitarist!". hide agreed to do this, and the members of Saver Tiger went their separate ways. Eventually, the remaining members of Saver Tiger re-grouped and started a boy band.

Shortly after hide joined X Japan, Yoshiki felt guilty about his actions and in an effort to make up for his behavior, he offered to be hide's loyal servant. hide agreed to this, and immediately demanded that Yoshiki buy him a lifetime supply of lemonade.

Dude we got to do something about this this is the most pathetic and disturbing thing i ever read!!!! How dare they say those things about a deceased person... That's not cool!

[SushiShin]

the biggest shame is THEY used WIKIPEDIA as their source of inspiration, a high respected site that many people use.

that's also worse, i hope X-japan when they are back together i hope they will kick the ass of the inventor of this site!

[Han Chan]

i wish i could, but this workes on my nerves don't you got the feeling too when you saw something stupid or bad that you are a bit angry or upset?

I used to get very worked up about this kind of things. Actually it was my japanese wife who learned me to ignore such silly and stupid things. She would say: life is too short - lets ignore those who merely try to upset us. I used to get all worked up about the other barstads in the traffic - now I just smile and think that their negative energy shall not influence my mood. Frankly this attitute have made my life much better. So, I can recommend it!

By the way I say cheers in Hoegarten - my favorite beer!:beer:KAMPAI

you are so right, that is what im going to do also!

But let's drink it away at a good beer although im not a real beer drinker, but let drink the morning away my friend!:beer:KAMPAI! カムパイ!

[EmperorHirohito]

Herbal that type of site thrives on people clicking on the links that people post, the more hits it gets the better. It is a shame that things like this exist on the Internet, but without complete and utter censorship and control, a site like that will exist for a long time.

It may not be nice, the best way is to try to forget it and ignore sites that practice defamation of character.

[nice gaijin]

I read it and couldn't stop laughing. It's satire; getting upset is pointless.

[w1ngzer0]

holy crap those are some hot pics of koda kumi

Haters and jealous people will never go away. If you want to look at it, please look at it with some sense of humor, if not, then just ignore it. Don`t let someone ruin your life. Look at it as if the person wishes to be like her and tries to get on her level by trying to ruin her. Makes sense?

The person who wrote this wants attention and you are certainly giving him yours as well. So, as of now, that webpage is winning the game.

Does no one else find it ironic that the OP has unintentionally ended up publicizing the site?

[Kinsao]

I actually find uncyclopedia quite funny. Maybe I'm just a cold-hearted *****...

[Mycernius]

the biggest shame is THEY used WIKIPEDIA as their source of inspiration, a high respected site that many people use.

Apart from its many inaccuracies and some highly dubious articles, yes it is a respected site.
Uncycloypedia is a Parody site. Take it or leave it, at least you know that its articles are there for fun.
I like this one http://www.landoverbaptist.org/

[JimmySeal]

Uncyclopedia has a good article on plagiarism (http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Plagiarism).

[SushiShin]

Thanks for all the nice comments, and thanks for the support!

well to be honest i didn't it is bad, i just think its ridiculous to make a site with those jokes, there are some funny phrases in it, but mostly they say Koda was a slut while she is a very hot woman:relief:
they say she barely speak japanese because she has a more english accent.
while it's more the opposite way.

more stupid things about other lovely jpop singers:

:blush: yah, its a little funny. I've never herd of it till the poster posted the site. Though, i will never visit the site other then this thread.

[maushan3]

Another one is Encyclopedia Dramatica. Try it at your own risk. Lots of mockery about many issues.

Mauricio

[kireikoori]

I hate uncyclopedia and encyclopediadramatica with a passion.
Especially encyclopediadramatica.

[SushiShin]

i see thank you everyone for the comments, for those funny guys who said something about the OP (i wasn't promoting this site!)

[EmperorHirohito]

Herbal I dont know if you intended to actually promote the site in the first place, but by putting the link in your opening post that I am afraid to say that is what you have actually done. It is slightly ironic that as a result of your post the site has had a few more people look at it.
As for the artice itself I do find it slightly sarcastic and funny at the same time. Unfortunatly there is various forms of sarcasm all over the net, even one of my mothers friends is regulary being targeted as some people refer to him as the Loins of Longleat, but that is another story lol.
Anyway you take care Herbal, I do look forward to the next thread that you start. :)

[williefk14nt]

Hi Herbal,
First of all, I`ve got to agree with EmperorHirohito, that you`ve inadvertently promoted the site.
Secondly, you should`nt let yourself be captured by this, rise above it, you`er bigger and better than them.

[Mike Cash]

i see thank you everyone for the comments, for those funny guys who said something about the OP (i wasn't promoting this site!)

I never said you promoted the site. I said you publicized the site.

I had never heard of it before reading your post. But I went there and spent about half an hour surfing around on it after reading your post.

[made of stone]

I never said you promoted the site. I said you publicized the site.


Surely the meaning is the same in this case, then?

[Mike Cash]

Surely the meaning is the same in this case, then?

The outcome is the same. Which is not the same as the meaning being the same.

Promoting implies a recommendation or endorsement, at the very least encouraging others to visit. Publicizing merely implies broadening knowledge of the site's existence. Quite clearly he did not want to promote the site, even though he did end up publicizing it. And though in the end result there isn't a nickel's worth of difference, I still like to adhere to Rule 13 (http://etext.virginia.edu/railton/projects/rissetto/offense.html).

[Dutch Baka]

I think if you want to do something about it, you can always send emails to the record companies of these artist or companies these people belong to including this link....

But, I wouldn't worry about it and just browse on.

[SushiShin]

oke thanks for the chilly and frenzy comments, i have to laugh because there was an article about were i had to laugh my ass allmost off.

Thanks Mike, for giving me something stimulating to chew on here!

I do appreciate the difference, and just meant to suggest that in this case there was no practical difference between the two in terms of what the OP provided, (implicitly-implied I'd hoped, but perhaps not!)

In any case the two terms do overlap here in certain spheres. Some of my friends are book 'publicists' and not 'promoters'. Others work for PR companies or events and they are 'promoters'. It's just a difference of emphasis, with the same meaning - 'promoter' sounds slightly more pro-active, confident, pushy, while the other strikes us as quiet, intelligent, and perhaps not needing to push quite as hard.

Anyway, great to see another who loves our great language as much as I do, and also love your links - great stuff! Keep'em coming! :)

[roman_torkit]

Hi Herbal Shin,
As it was said before, you can ignore things like that on Wiki, but you can also fix them. You can join Wiki as a contributor an edit someone's posts:-) and make them fair to Japan!:cool:

[SushiShin]

yup you are right, but now i pretend it as a joke, although my friends also said it was stupid to mention it but yeah i cannot turn the time :relief:

[dreamybabydan]

My strong condolences to you, but i never thought that they could insult in such a bad manner. I am a fan of Ayumi Hamasaki and if any idiot says anything bad about her, I will ram his face down a septic tank! Or send a bulk of viruses to his site and ........................ . Even though I am not Japanese (i am Indian) I still love Japan , yet i am so sad that such a good country has gone through the toughest hardships in life. Japan facinates me. more than any other country. Please comment on my posts and see the new member introduction page to know more of me. let me show you the website i created for Ayumi Hamasaki. (I am a webmaster)
ayumi.co.nr copy that link and paste it in your browser. Bye

[SushiShin]

well let's take it as a joke and just leave it like allready is, it's only a pity that people make site's like this as a joke. I like Ayumi Hamasaki too and Koda Kumi and Koyuki. But yeah like i said it's just a joke.

[Derfel]

Just hire a detective, find the ones responsible, than a hitman, and have them murdered in cold blood... whoa, that would actually own :D
No one would dare to publish false information anymore i bet :d

[SushiShin]

Lol, but that wouldn't help either don't you think?:p
