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

Choose Your Own Adventure Travel Show

InTransit is a 'net show about two guys (Scooterstars) traveling across the US on little 49 cc motorscooters (max speed, about 20mph). Accordingly, they will camp-out or stay at different places. You can learn more from their site, and vote on where you'd like to see them go next.
