For anyone who’s ever garnered amusement from distorting the facts and submitting a misleading Wikipedia entry, comes Uncyclopedia. Mimicking the appearance of Wikipedia yet deliberately fictitious, contributors post hilarious alternative explanations for topics ranging from the new iPad (read my non-fictitious thoughts) to George Dubya Bush. Caution is advised however – it’s very easy to get trapped in a never-ending series of click-throughs. My personal favourite has to be the pisstake of Susan Boyle, extract below.

“Born in Geneva in the late 1700s on a dreary night in November at the hands of Victor Frankenstein, Susan Boyle spent the next 200+ years known simply as “Frankenstein’s Monster” or “The Creature”. After finally catching and killing her creator at the North Pole Susan eventually moved to Scotland, near Loch Ness, giving rise to the popular myth of the water-dwelling monster. Resembling a cross between a 1970s Soviet premier and a haunted tree, Susan Boyle is an Angel trapped in the body of a hairy Scottish dinner lady. She shot to instant global fame recently by solving all of the world’s problems with her rendition of I had a wet dream by Les Miserables. Because she has sung that song, nothing bad will ever happen ever again, ever. She has also begun a clandestine affair with George Dubya Bush. She was voted sexy lady in 2009 in both Scotland and Cuba. All voters have since been rounded up and shot.”
