WIKIALITY, Florida,<\/b> Friday (UNN) \u2014 An article about the Prophet Sophia<\/a> (potatoes be unto her) in the English-language Uncyclopedia<\/a> has become the subject of an online protest in the last few weeks because of its representations of her, taken from mediaeval manuscripts.<\/p>\n

In addition to numerous e-mail messages sent to the Uncyclomedia Foundation<\/a>, an online petition cites a prohibition in Sophistry on images of people. The petition has more than 80,000 \u201csignatures,\u201d though many who submitted them to ThePetitionSpammers.com remained anonymous.\n<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s totally unacceptable to print the Prophet\u2019s picture,”<\/i> Sodomy Bukkake from Uncyclostan wrote in a message. “It shows insensitivity towards Sophist feelings and should be removed immediately. We are a peaceable people, and will fucking kill you if you don’t.”<\/i>\n<\/p>\n

A Frequently Asked Questions page explains the site\u2019s polite but firm refusal to remove the images: “Since Uncyclopedia has the goal of dealing with all topics from a satirical point of view, it is not censored for the benefit of any particular group. We’re quite happy to be complete dicks if it generates sufficient humorous energy. So watch it or we’ll put you in the Cancer porn<\/a> article.”<\/i>\n<\/p>\n
