Congress Abandons WikiConstitution September 28, 2005 \| Issue 41•39 WASHINGTON, DC—Congress scrapped the open-source, open-edit, online version of the Constitution Monday, only two months after it went live. "The idea seemed to dovetail perfectly with our tradition of democratic participation," Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid said. "But when so-called 'contributors' began loading it down with profanity, pornography, ASCII art, and mandatory-assault-rifle-ownership amendments, we thought it might be best to cancel the project." Congress intends to restore the Constitution to its pre-Wiki format as soon as an unadulterated copy of the document can be found. theonion.com The incidental points ("Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid") are out of date, but the fact that many politicians and judges almost seem to treat the constitution as if it was a Wiki isn't.
