]]> <![CDATA[Jimmy Wales's "gold-plated washing machine"]]> @TechMerkin: That part is a bit sensationalist, but it's still morally and ethically inexcusible for Jimmy Wales -- or anybody, for that matter -- to use the funds from a nonprofit entity to fund his (extravagant) lifestyle. The fact that the funds are donations makes it even more disgusting. No one's going broke or hungry because of Wales' actions, but that doesn't justify his actions in the least.

"students who gave up their lunch money to donate to Wikipedia"

I'm not going to defend a douchebag dressed up in Asian attire, but no one is going hungry because Jimbo travels decently.

Read the "the money" link in the beginning of this piece.

He's been crooked from day one, and please, please, please keep up the pressure. Wikipedia is the biggest abuse of public trust and "nonprofit" status since Scientology.
