A week without... Wiki [Day One]

There are so many useless things I wanted to know yesterday.

Has this situation ever happened to you?



You're watching a TV show and someone looks so familiar.

You watch them for a while and then... it's just killing you... You HAVE to know.

So you turn to Wiki, which holds the answers.

Phew. They were in Boy Meets World. Sweet release.

Well... I have had no such catharsis .

Yesterday my boyfriend and I were watching the show Party Down. In the show, one of the characters was in a beer commercial, for which he is constantly ridiculed. As the show has gained popularity, a beer company has asked the character to be in their commercials. How clever! If this is true, I guessed this was Amstel Light. Normally- I would just turn to Wiki for the answer.

Well it can't be that hard to find the answer with out Wikipedia... can it?



Step 1: Who is that actor? 2:10

Step 2: Ohhh 'Adam Scott'... never heard of him. 2:12

Step 3: Search 'google' for: "Adam Scott beer commercial" 2:13

Step 4: Nothing... search 'google' for: "Adam Scott real life beer commercial 2:21

Step 5: Nothing... Bored/Annoyed. 2:38



Why is wikipedia so quick and convenient?

Additionally, I used to spend my commute on the bus wikipediaing mindless facts. For example, did you know... fascinating!

Now I'm bored on the bus. Might have to get a book.



*For the record. The wikipedia links in this post are for the readers knowledge ONLY. I am sticking to my pledge to go without wiki for one week. So.. enjoy... jerks.
