Wikipedia Guest Stars in Office Episode
April 06, 2007
In what is being called its breakout performance, Wikipedia guest starred in last night's super-sized episode of The Office. Michael turns to this Wiki article for negotiation tactics in preparation for battle against an employee asking for a raise. His description of Wiki perfectly captures the perceptional enigma.
Wikipedia is the best thing ever. Anyone in the world can write anything they want about any subject, so you know you are getting the best possible information.
Michael practiced and used tactics from the article, such as time manipulation, dominant physical position, and walking out. Perhaps Michael's best wiki tactic would have been declining to speak first, were it not for his breaking the long, awkward silence by whispering across the table that he is, in fact, declining to speak first.
How did Wiki respond to inclusion in TV known formerly as Must See?
