I'm Currently Feeling:  | Vernon Kay is not dead!
Vernon Kay has reassured friends and family he's alive and well after his Wikipedia entry claimed he had died.
A hacker had altered the TV star's page to say he'd drowned in a tragic yachting accident in Greece and that his funeral would be this Friday in Bolton.
Vernon was surprised to find his mates calling him to check he was okay after reading the entry.
But he's insisted he's at home and wishes he was actually on holiday in Greece.
Kay's not the first major UK figure to be targeted by Wikipedia vandals - footballer Ashley Cole was famously slurred in the past.
This was taken from yahoo news, how bad is that? |

I'm Currently Feeling:  |  Am I the only one who finds this a bit amusing? Why does it say hacker? Anyone can edit Wikipedia. |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Having read that more closely I laugh even more that his mates rang him up after reading Wikipedia, surely if they were real mates they wouldn't be relying (or believing) such a website about something like this?! |
