Operation Smoke and Mirrors was a page-bump operation carried out by the cabal that led to "Goat" being the #1 most-viewed article on Conservapedia.
Although the "humorous" promotions of ridiculous articles to the top of the most-viewed list were undone via deletion and re-creation of the pages, phase two was much more successful.
In phase two, the targets were Conservative's groaning heap of homosexuality-related articles. Eventually, nine out of ten of the "most-viewed" articles were on this topic, prompting a minor blogrush before people figured out that the numbers weren't "real".
For some unknown reason, Conservapedia did not undo this particular round of page-bumping.
