| - The increasing popularity of wikis among internet users has inevitably made them a prime target for individuals and groups wishing to obtain free publicity for their product, service, political candidate, quasi-religious belief system, or hairstyle.[#endnote_mts1] The fact that most wikis present themselves as "value-neutral" (also known as "NPOV") makes them even more attractive to "spammers," politicians, pseudo-science advocates, extremists, axe-grinders, meat-grinders, organ-grinders, and loose-leaf-binder-grinders. The latter, in particular, have become practically ubiquitous on nearly every major wiki in existence — most of which now feature lengthy, well-illustrated articles on the virtues of placing loose-leaf notebook binders into gigantic processing machines in order to produce "loose-leaf-binder mash," a healthful, environmentally-friendly substance that can be used in countless beneficial ways which could one day solve the global energy crisis, relieve world hunger, and end all human suffering. The first known example of MTS is thought to have occurred on August 12, 2002, when members of the Worldwide Independent Proto-Hominid Organization (WIPHO) successfully had an article protected on Wikipedia that supported their position regarding the need for internationally-recognized breast-feeding standards for female chimpanzees, mostly due to their having destroyed a life-size cardboard cutout of singer Avril Lavigne. The protection remains in place to this day, though most of the embedded images have since been replaced with the standard goatse pornography that is now mandatory in all Wikipedia articles except for the ones involving the grinding of loose-leaf binders for the betterment of all humankind, which continue to be a shining example of quality amidst the horrendously tedious rubbish found everywhere else.
