| quote = On the afternoon of Sept. 25, 2016, someone within the Canadian defence establishment embarked on a lengthy and nonsensical vandalization of comedian Norm Macdonald’s Wikipedia page. They claimed he was "Somalian," that he had died the month before, and then inserted this particularly unhinged passage, "he voiced many cartoon characters in commercials including that bumble bee from those tuna commercials and the worm from Sesame Street." Later, to be sure, the editor then substituted "Sesame Street" with "that other show."
