Idiotic move by the FBI

So it seems there is a controversy about Wikipedia's use of the FBI logo in its article about them. This is a funny story. The FBI got upset about Wikipedia's use of their logo, and sent them a threatening letter. (You'd think they'd know how to spell "unauthorized" - "unathorized" just doesn't quite do it for me.) Wikipedia shot back with an appropriate tongue-in-cheek response, here. Ya gotta take a look, it's pretty damn funny! (And look to your right - I wonder if I'm going to get a letter from them. Mind you, I think they objected to the high-res version, not this one. You can find that one here and... well, if you're good, you'll find it.)

As a PS, I found the following on an old update of the Wikipedia FBI page. I'm repeating it here, exactly as I found it, because it's illustrative of the kind of nutjobs Wikipedia has to deal with. I especially love the bit near the end about being forced to smoke cigaretttes and take huge prescriptions. This was posted at the very top of the FBI page. Here you go:

Hello, my name is Rhys Paul Hovey, and I have sent the FBI over 1000 e-mail tips, as well as hundreds to the CIA. I have never got any verbal response from the FBI or CIA, except one callback from the Canadian consulate. I have become a victim of high tech organized crime, that have satellite sound technology, and long range subvocal speech recognition to control "torture AI" or "head voice AI" and in effect attempt to put "voices in your head", and also to "advertise". There has been an artificial and quiet sound being put into my environment, including my house for over 5 years. I have been able to record the sound, this type of weapon or attack is going underneath the label of "mind control" technology. I am a computer scientist. Since this attack, I have received several understandable return codewords from the CIA as well as the FBI, including GORDV4,54004,G8CLUTL, and HQWW3G9. I believe that my personal data has become part of a TAG NETWORK, that has been created by undercover ops. This network appears to be about 9-11 and the hospital system, as well as totalitarianism, and STAR WARS. I have left further descriptions of this online, under the given keywords, and under SS TI TC TM. Several events, including the airplane crash in poland, and the Oklahoma city bombing, seem to be pretagged, dating back as early as 1984-1985. Please help me relay this information to the FBI. I have been shown by several doctors to have no mental illness, as mental illness is typical of 9-11 victims, who are forced to smoke cigarettes and take huge prescriptions, when indeed their mental illness is simple ultrasound-radio-waves, and computer controlled HEAD VOICE AI. Many people could die with this secret not in the open.

Fun stuff!!! But it gets better - as I was preparing this post, some fool deleted the entire article in Wikipedia, and replaced it with the following text (it was reverted back within a few seconds - the Wiki folks are really on top of things!):

(They then proceed to repeat the above ¶ two more times! I'm not gonna waste the space here, though.)

Wikipedia vandals can be fun sometimes, albeit irritating. Apparently there were also repeated attempts to replace the FBI logo with a scratched-out version, but I was unable to find a  copy. It's probably time for Wikipedia to lock the ability to edit that article, at least for a while.

Ah, screw it - on the left we have the high-resolution version of the logo. Click on it to get a really good look! My theory is that, since this has been published all over the web, and is super-easy to find, it's pretty much in the public domain by now. In any case, it'll be kinda fun to get one of those letters - hopefully with the spelling error - from the FBI. I might even frame it! "Frame" - geddit?
