Colbertistas 

The group of followers of Stephen Colbert (host of The Colbert Report) who act on suggestions made during the show. The term was first used on the talk page of the Wikipedia entry for elephant, after Colbert called for the entry to be modified to reflect a (fictitious) three-fold increase in the elephant population. The Colbertistas are said to engage in Colberrorism.
The Colbertistas are changing the 'latchkey kid' entry now, times to lock it down.
