That's hilarious. Most of the people are asking "why?" in their tweets and therefore apparently didn't actually read the blackout message. What are they doing on Wikipedia if they can't read?

OK, so if Wikipedia goes dark people take to Twitter. What would people do if that went down?

Didn't anybody tell you I was a hacker?

Ars has a lot of good info about SOPA, I like their approach of not blacking out instead they inform their audience. I also really digg their new design even though I cant stand reading inverted text.
