Someone Hacked Yelp’s Wikipedia Page, Here’s The Witty Shit They Left

Amidst a heavy news day for Yelp, some savvy  jokesters decided to get shitty with the company Wikipedia listing.

Around 10:00pm PST (the last time I refreshed the Yelp listing), the page looked like this. While the formatting seems a bit off from its normal state, all the info seemed correct. Someone had infiltrated the page and changed the Industry listing:

yelp-manufacturer-manure

Since I hadn’t paid attention to the Industry field of Yelp’s listing before this incident, it took me a few eyelash bats to make sure I wasn’t seeing things. Is ‘Manufacturer of Manure’ some sort of tech industry jibber-jabber that I just wasn’t privy too?

Nope, manure means the same thing regardless of industry:

manure

At the time of this post, the Yelp Wikipedia entry had already been restored to normal.

Touche subtle jokesters.

Too shay.
