Hard To Tell If Wikipedia Entry On Dada Has Been Vandalized Or Not | The Onion - America's Finest News Source

Hard To Tell If The Wikipedia Entry On Dada Has Been Vandalized >
Talk about obscure jokes! Dada is the "anti-art" movement characterized by random nonsense.

"This is either totally messed up or completely accurate," said Reed College art history major Ted Brendon. 'There's a mustache drawn on the photo of Marcel Duchamp, the font size keeps changing, and halfway through, the type starts going in a circle. Also, the majority of the actual entry is made up of Krazy Kat cartoons with abstract poetry written in the dialogue balloons.' The fact that the web page continually reverts to a 'normal' state, observers say, is either evidence that ongoing vandalization is being deleted through vigilant updating, or a deliberate statement on the impermanence of superficial petit-bourgeois culture in the age of modernity."
