The story.

To to sum it up for you dumb lazy people, he thought Wikipedia was a prank site, and under a prominent newspaper editor he wrote that the man was linked to the JFK assasination, and after it stayed on for months, things snowballed from there. When they were searching for the man who did it, the guy responsible came forward and said that he did it as a joke, not knowing that people used the site for actual reference. The guy who did it as a joke lost his job.

I feel bad for him, lost his job over a joke on the internet. Thats like people sueing cj for pretending to be 2 people but really being one in the real world.
In order to protect cj from this punishment I shall build a robot body for yami.

Too late.  CJMerl Industries finished the construction of the body 2 weeks ago.  It's been up and running for at least 1 of those weeks by now.

Nothing can top it!

Yami has a way of making the "specs" seem bigger than they should be though... you should just remove that part and replace it with fuzzy dice, yami'll never know the difference.
