Wikipedia break-up causes web stir

March 6th, 2008

Breaking-up - some do it with a text, others with a letter, the brave in person, but Jimmy Wales, the founder of Wikipedia, used the online encyclopedia to dump his girlfriend.

But the jilted one-time Fox News pundit Rachel Marsden is having her revenge and suitably enough it’s online.

Right now anyone who cares enough – or cares too much – can own a little bit of this virtual saga. Marsden has put items of clothing belonging to the Wikipedia founder, universally known as ‘Jimbo’, on the auction site eBay.

Marsden can be seen modelling the dark coloured T-shirt on eBay. She claims he was wearing it when they met. Bidding is heavy and is expected to pass the $500 mark by this evening.
