Gonzi promises a Full Monty for manipulated wikipedia

Lawrence Gonzi's biography on www.wikipedia.com was manipulated by somebody with an overdose of humour yesterday.

Interspersed with accurate information on Dr Gonzi's career, the entry read that his favourite film is The Full Monty. "When asked if he'd ever consider performing a re-enactment of the famous scene he said: 'I'd only do it if I lose an election and the six (strippers) would be: Me, my brother, Mario (de Marco), Jeffrey (Pullicino Orlando), Jason (Micallef) and Eddie (Fenech Adami)'".

One could also read that, at the last general election, Dr Gonzi was again elected as Prime Minister, having defeated Alfred Sant six to five on penalties, with his brother, Michael Gonzi, successfully scoring the all important shot!

The biography was restored to its original within hours.
