This article has been mentioned by a media organization:

Nick Marland (2012-01-24). "The fallibility of the internet (or my Gaytime confession)". Australian Broadcasting Corporation – The Drum Unleashed. Retrieved 2012-01-24. A confession: I did not invent the Gaytime. Nevertheless, the information has spread like a contagion from site to site and into muted folklore. For this lie, we indict several culprits, all of them guilty of gullibility or low standards. The indictment, ultimately, is on a culture coming to depend more heavily and unquestioningly on the internet. Perhaps it's a reliance we need to temper or reassess entirely.
The problem with user-generated content is that users are often mischievous: a former workmate altered the Gaytime's Wikipedia entry to give me my undue due. The other problem with user-generated content is that it is too often taken as gospel. A simple phone call by the Courier-Mail journalist or subeditor in question to the confectionary company (the technical term is 'fact-checking') would have saved some blushes. However, with online news outlets in a 24-hour news cycle needing to constantly update with fresh, compelling content, it's no wonder shortcuts are taken.

Untitled[edit]

The golden gaytime icecream is an australian cultural icon. It is definantly notable.

Many australians experience conflict when considering perchase of a golden gaytime, having to weigh up its homosexual connotations with its Tasty honeycomb covered in chocolate and dusted with biscut. This very senario is detailed in the song by the Bedroom Philosopher - Golden gaytime.

I will try to expand this article a bit, after i go get me a golden gaytime :) --Dinny McGee 01:58, 10 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, its longevity as an Australian icon (with an all but unchanged wrapper) warrants inclusion. It has been popular for a long time, and nearly all Australians are familiar with the name. Wampusaust 10:52, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Aussie icon[edit]

Definitely noteworthy.. Who flagged it as not eh? The brand with the dodgy name that’s proud to be a dodgy name regardless.. I have gay friends who get them above all other icecreams for the chuckle value.. NathanLee 18:16, 11 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Long standing vandalism[edit]

This article seems like an obvious vandalism target now that I think about it, but it’s one of those ones which has slipped through the cracks because it isn’t often vandalised, so a small edit wasn’t noticed. There’s an opinion piece in today's ABC The Drum Unleashed in which the author, Nick Marland, highlights that his name was erroneously added to this article in 2008 as the ice cream’s inventor by a work colleague, and this “fact” has remained there ‘’for over four years’’. --Canley (talk) 22:39, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
