Wikipedia Terrorism
Seeing as the Wikipedia is an extremely popular thing, and is editable by anyone, I think it begs the question, "Are we vulnerable to a terrorist attack via the Wikipedia?" Think about it. Someone begins slowly creating a trail of barely false information that people over time start to take as fact. As the months progress the information gradually gets more radical and pretty soon we're all doing exactly what the terrorists want. Seeing as how we're all mindless drones prone to believing anything and everything it's bound to happen. The government should obviously begin to monitor all posters and begin arresting people who might be 'troublemakers'. Heck, they might as well monitor the entire world population. I won't sleep soundly till I know it's happening.

You prescient bastard. I was going to blog about this, but you've taken the proverbial carpet out from underneath my feet.
I've seen Wikipedia.com terrorists come, and I've seen them go. I've seen Answers.com terrorists, and I've seen them stick around, lounge, relax, kick off their shoes, mope, and thereby subtly settle into the subconconscious of a generation of bloggers.
And it's pained me to see that. It's pained me to my very core. It's caused great mental trauma to see a somewhat reputable website such as Wikipedia.com 'get it wrong.' It's pained me to see the greatest minds of our generation sapped dry by the lies propagated by Answers.com. It hurts, oh God, it hurts.
A good friend of mine once read 'information' that was posted on Answers.com. Little did he know that he was being decieved.
That good friend of mine was Cooter--a star of the hit T.V. series 'Dukes of Hazard.' He read that my hometown of Las Cruces received its water supply from Elephant Butt. He was wrong, but we can forgive him for that, because he was merely another victim of Wikipedia terrorism.
Ha! Elephant Butt! Now that's funny! Butt!
