Watch the video of Stephen Colbert's explanation of Wikipedia right here

An on running theme in this blog is how the Internet has warped our concept of authority. Stephen Colbert recently made some hilarious comments about authority and the Internet in his daily "word":

Some classic quotes from the segment:

"Wikipedia - the website where you can be an authority even if you don't know what the hell you are talking about."

"When Wikipedia becomes our most trusted reference source, reality becomes just what the majority agrees upon."

Ah, Comedy Central. What will you come up with next?
