Tom Brady lost the Super Bowl last night and according to a new Wiki
site, he's a dick. Launched by 23/6, an IAC and Huffington Post collab,
Dickipedia takes aim at some of today's most revered and infamous
celebs.
Designed to look just like Wikipedia's layout, albeit with a slogan that reads, "a wiki of dicks," Dickipedia
gives you the type of insight you won't find on the former site. Big
names that get the dick treatment include Lance Armstrong, Kanye West,
and even Santa Claus.
Each post begins with a generic introduction that introduces the
person's name, what they're known for, and then their regrettable title
of dick. "Tom Edward Patrick Brady, Jr. (born August 3, 1977) is a
football player, future Hall of Famer, insufferable golden boy, and a
dick."
They then continue to go through the person's past and present, with
numerous opportunities to explain their dickness. The posts are often
laugh out loud funny (can the person who coined lol be added to Dickipedia please?), as is the case with Sean Penn's bio.

ETYMOLOGY OF DICK - HOW THE IRISH INVENTED SLANG BY DAN CASSIDYEtymology of Sneaksneaky gossip serves a purpose If you do not get to - have - keep - and possess your own words, then in time you and your people won't remember and know what you know.
DICTIONARIES ARE TRUSTED SOURCES - INFORMATION OR PROPAGANDA?
Sneaky Dictionary Dicks, publisher$, editor$, online player$, and word a dayer$ are the thought police
not
Irish Subject Scholars, merely ordinary people; who happen to control
what gets into a print and online dictionary.
And just like any other
ordinary person, can be arrogant, ignorant, sexist, classist, and very
wrong.
By refusing to acknowledge substantiated evidence and print the
sanas of Jazz is Irish and by refusing to print
that there is a
possibility that sanas of Jazz MIGHT be Irish it confirms that when
dictionary dicks say "origins unknown"
it really only means "THEY don't
know". With reputations to establish or protect and because some are
climbing the
academic ladder it is easy for them to pollute the
scholarly record.
