Child actor

According to Andrew Keen on the Ryan Tubridy radio show this morning, the bit about him having been a famous child actor was put in as a hoax by a BBC researcher to show how "unreliable" Wikipedia is. It was added by User:Matthewsweet20007. Rwxrwxrwx 09:06, 28 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

just made an idiot out of himself on colbert (thursday, august 16)

I just saw that. What a douche.
300th episode too...the douchebag came off as lacking knowledge as well as class.

Wow, just discovered this article after watching Mr. Keen on the The Colbert Report. He came across as very cold and bitter, bitter that the internet is a democratic venue where the ordinary citizen can exercise his or her right to free speech. Can someone please write a criticism section for this elitist (insert insult here). Ohh and he also said he "loathes" Wikipedia. --Tocino 17 August 2007, 05:03 (UTC)

I just saw that myself...didn't exactly do such a great job making his case, did he? Just sat there sneering. You know, this is one of those things that really ticks me off, the perception that because most of us Wikipedians are not "certified Experts," then we are necessarily stupid and can't synthesize information from secondary sources. I second the creation of a "criticism" section, if for no better reason, then because I'm annoyed at him. K. Lásztocska 04:08, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Andrew Keen knows more about the internet than you. Don't forget that. --69.17.164.159 05:05, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Can you prove that? 67.36.191.238 05:11, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

69.17.164.159 is being sarcastic after what Keen said on the show. That's actually pretty funny. 24.59.148.187 05:14, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, but he didn't actually demostrate it on the Colbert Report. In fact, he didn't really prove anything except that he's an idiot. 67.36.191.238 05:19, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I can't disagree with that. :) 24.59.148.187 06:05, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
