I didn't want to make fun of their fundraising ads, even though there are some pretty good ones out there, but they've left me no choice. I'm not making a statement about wikipedia, whether you should or should not donate, but their ads are getting ridiculous! It's like those commercials where they show emaciated kids or dogs with their eyes hanging out saying "You could prevent this for only $1 a day". I couldn't help but notice that every once in ten times (or so) a more serious picture of wikipedia's founder shows up, instead of his regular one.



This is a bunch of stuff I saw but tried not to laugh at because wikipedia is awesome.
Here's a personal appeal from wikipedia's founder nessy.

This is pretty hilarious:

In the standard one he looks a bit constipated. The occasional one that I hadn't seen before is pretty cool though. He looks a bit like Chuck Norris.

I like the one "If you look up hubris in wikipedia you get a picture of Jimmy Wales"
