Wiki-Groaning

Something Awful has introduced a wonderful new sport to the Internet:"Wiki-Groaning"

Even the Wall Street Journal has taken notice of the activity:

"Wiki-Groaning is competing to come up with the best examples of how Wikipedia, the Web's home-grown reference source, is skewed towards pop-culture topics. For instance, the West Wing of the White House merits a 1,100-word entry on Wikipedia, while "The West Wing," the Aaron Sorkin TV drama, has an 6,800-word write-up."

Some other great examples:

Medical doctor
Doctor Doom

Trail of Tears
Tears for Fears

Lizards
Dragons

Civil War
Dominion War

Modern warfare
Lightsaber combat
