Modernista! vs Wikipedia. When smart-ass upstart takes on stuffy upstart

As I am increasingly tired of Wikipedian onanists purists deletionists, I was amused to hear of Modernista!'s idea of creating their own Wikipedia entry, then using it as their website. Smart, funny and oh-so-totally against Wikipedia's rules about companies editing their own entries. For good measure, the rest of Modernista!'s "site" is their newz link to Google News and their Facebook entry.

Update: the Wikipedians pulled it down.

the problem that i had with it was that they act like they "GET" the internet. When in fact they "DON'T" Braking rules that are in place regardless if people agree or disagree with them they should at least be respected.
I'm one of very few it seems that didn't care for the site at all. In fact only found a few blogs that disliked it. I'm glad it got pulled off of Wikipedia

You're right, Hoppo.
