With the popularity of the Democratic YouTube Debate a few weeks ago and the soon-to-come Republican YouTube Debate, a number of other popular websites on the national internets have decided to get in on the act and hold debates of their own. We continue our preview of these upcoming presidential shout-offs with a look at the latest debate, sponsored by Wikipedia.org.

Format

Candidates must vocalize a biography for themselves using varied unsubstantiated truths that nonetheless sound like they could be true. Because, honestly, if you're Mitt Romney and you say you helped invent Robitussin, who's going to know? They can also use visual aids like photographs where they're Photoshopped in over Jimmy Carter at the Camp David Accords.

A moderator oversees the proceedings, sometimes prompting candidates that their claims have not been documented or that what they just said does not meet the debate's "objectivity standards," but they can't watch all the time, because even Wikipedia debate moderators have to work and eat and take dumps occasionally. So when the moderator leaves, the candidate can just change it back. They just have to be sure they don't get their debate account suspended.

Candidates must also be on the defensive, however, as all other debate participants can intrude on their comments and make changes if they wish. So if he wished, Rudy Giuliani could jump right into Mitt Romney's remarks and change them to say "Mitt Romney invented Robitussin, but it was the kind that killed children" or just "Romney loves penises."

The candidate with the most impressive biography with the least instances of the word "penis" is declared the winner.

First Line Predictions
