Wikipedia's village stocks, found a short distance from the village pump
A foolish administrator receives a ritual ducking from the Wikipedia community

It is a truth universally acknowledged that intelligent and otherwise sensible editors and administrators occasionally engage in acts of extreme stupidity.

Based on the fundamental principle that such blatant disregard of sensibility, however unintended, is best punished by humiliation, the village stocks have been built to identify the wiki-idiots in our midst.
