Did you read the article?

Besides being part comedy sketch, it's also part sociological experiment and part performance art.

It wasn't about gaming a system for financial gain in the least.

So you're saying making Steve Jobs Chinese on Wikipedia is a decent analogy?

That's wasn't the point in mentioning 'financial gain", I mentioned that as an example of gaming a system for a nefarious purposes.

I mentioned this simply as contrast, that although the system was indeed gamed, it was done so with humor and without harming anybody in the process.
