If you need to use english Wikipedia today you'll find it's "gone dark" to protest SOPA and PIPA. I wrote a little JavaScript snippet that unblocks the content so if you need Wikipieda today you can still use it. The explanation and bookmarklet is here:

Sneaky sneaky stewdio!

your javascript isn't working for me, however the pressing 'escape' as the page loads does work!
Either way doesn't really affect the protest, I obviously still support it, even if I now can sneakily see the english content.

The oatmeal too. I wonder how many designers are being made to jump on the band wagon as we speak?

FYI, the links to SOPA and PIPA still work on Wikipedia, so you can read up on what all the fuss is about:
SOPA: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sto…
PIPA: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PRO…

Weird, I was just using it on my macbook. My macbook apparently is racist and wont view black websites.
