France Wikipedia Page Vandal



This morning, I hopped on the Wikipedia page for France to grab the French motto and the anthem and such for a quick prank (after all, I have work to do today). I left the page briefly and reloaded it to discover that some moron had changed the French motto, "Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité" to say "eat frogs legs and chill with there hairy armpits init lol."

As a service to you, the reader, and you, the half-brained shitlin who changed the motto, I will now correct and grade your edit:

eat frogs legs
- This person must mean "frog legs" as in the food. The phrasing implies that when one sees a frog, one must eat its legs. Eating frog legs isn't exclusively French and shouldn't really be a goal of a nation, so it has no real business in the national motto.

and chill
- I'm not sure what chilling has to do with being French or eating frog legs. Tell me, when you edited this at 6am, are you up late or up early?

with there hairy armpits
- YOU FUCKING FAILURE! IT'S "THEIR!" Elementary school students can do this correctly! Why can't you?
- Why would a national motto refer to its people's armpits as "there [sic] armpits"? Shouldn't it be "our armpits"?

init lol
- I assume "init" to mean "in it." I guess they're referring to the frog legs? Because if they are eating frog legs with their hairy armpits in it, that comes close to being a complete thought. If they're chilling with their armpits in it, we're falling farther from the tree of coherent thoughts.
- "lol" is not a word.

While I was digging through the history of the edits of the France page to find the real French motto, I found another vandal. The italicized portions were added, then subsequently edited out or corrected by someone who hates idiots as much as I do.

The name "France" comes from Latin Francia, which literally means "land of the Gays" or "Frankland".
- Could this be more lowbrow? This person obviously thought changing "Land of the Franks" to "Land of the Gays" was pure comic gold because he called the French gay. What this person no doubt failed to recognize is that his vandalism actually is funny: "land of the Gays" or "Frankland." He is thus calling all people named Frank gay. Now that's funny.

In recent decades, France's reconciliation and (gay people came from here) cooperation with Germany have proved central to the...
- Way to fail completely. You couldn't find a sentence where "gay people come from here" would have made sense? You couldn't even stick it right next to "France"?? You put it in the middle of a clause?! Ack!
