They actually statistically found that the staring pictures accumulate the most donations.

He is one of the overlords of the Internet, more specifically the founder of Wikipedia.

Probably because they're afraid of his rapeface.

There's a huge banner over wikipedia with this guy's pic on it asking for money to help cover the expenses of maintaining the site.
He picked an awful time to ask for money, it's too close to the holidays.

Stupid cheshire Jimmy Wales. Stop mocking me!

We are now adding to the net total of douchebaggery in the world in OChem - we now pronounce Wikipedia "Wik-ih-ped-eye-uh".

Ugh. It just keeps getting worse:

It took me a few seconds to realize I wasn't being leered at by a shirtless Jimmy Wales

omg I'm totally glad that's not just me!! I thought he had no shirt on either this morning when I was on wikipedia and it took me a second to realize that he was, in fact, clothed and not naked.

Still risky. I'd format my hard drive if I were you.

Heh. Jimmy fatigue.
Wikimedia Foundation 2011-2012 Annual Plan wrote:
That said, in 2010 we began to see indicators of banner and Jimmy fatigue expressed in mainstream and social media. We interpret this as a warning: we expect donations to continue strong growth, but a ceiling may be coming into view. And we will need to find alternatives to over-utilization of Jimmy, in order to preserve his appeal.

They seem to be honoring their plan to avoid "Jimmy fatigue".

I don't think of it quite so much as losing Jimmy Wales as I do gaining this guy:

Donate to wikipedia or we shoot this carny!

The crazy homeless lady who lives in the box under the bridge wants you to donate to Wikipedia, rather than to her, because she's CRAZY!!!!!!!
