Apparently not even notable enough to register.

Jimmy Wales vs. Charlie Sheen

Jimmy Wales vs. Adolf Hitler

Jimmy Wales vs. Justin Bieber

I tried Mark Zuckerberg, Julian Assange, Larry Lessig, Rachel Marsden, but it returns nothing.

How would Jimbo get enough data to be measurable on this scale? I'd like to see how he measures up against Josef Stalin and Kim Jong Il, but until he actually becomes popular, it's basically nada-nada.

Apparently there's no data for Radiohead lead singer Thom Yorke or actress Jessica Biel, either, but there's enough for Kanye West, who is referred to as a "piece of turd."

Clearly, this website has some work to do before they can be used as a "reliable source."

There's one for Larry Sanger:

"It's official: larry sanger aint no star"

How do they measure popularity? They scan for words on sites where the searched term is mentioned?

2chan is a dud, uncyclopedia is appaling, 4chan is alarmingly bad, encyclopedia dramatica is like an odious stench, shotacon is going nowhere fast, hentai is cannon fodder, pedophilia is so so, pedophile is lousy, whites is excellent, jews is acceptable, niggers is passable, asians is ordinary...

Jimmy is a lot closer to a hip replacement than being hip in itself.

But, you know, I once roadied for one of the biggest 70s rock'n'roll stars in our neck of the woods who after long deleterious and delirious careers was finally reduced to playing the same small clubs that they must have started out hoofing.

Even then, the faithful - paunched, balding, be-mortgaged and not dead at 30 - still came out to re-live some one night from their youth. I suspect it will always be the same for Jimbo.

He will end up the King of Trival Pursuits, turning up for $50 dollars a night in ill fitting suits to do quiz nights in local libraries and run down bars and have his dinner bought for him ...

To be accosted by John Awbrey and snaggle toothed, silver haired Wikipedia Reviewers.

It seems you can prove anything with that site.

Jimmy doesn't seem to know when he's being mocked.

He just sits there and updates his Foursquare account, all day long?
Is he one of those nuts who posts his daily bowel movements?


That's the Internet--the reptilian brainstem of the world.
