Edna Bambrick is the name of an older age woman that often comes to this site with every chance she has. Supposedly, she mostly comes on to report any violations whatsoever on anyone she can. As I heard, the reason why she does it is because she feels as if she is making the Internet safe. After a while, she became the most popular individual (celebrity) on this site because she was the most hated as well. Many people then tried to report on her with any reason[s] they can find whatsoever and I believe they succeeded in it. Yet, it didn't stop there, because her celebrity status continued on within the site, even though she might have been suspended from here. As a comical sense, some people thought it would be humorous to impersonate her on the site by creating screennames with her name as it, also her picture included as well. Not long after, it got out of control, because it sparked the 'Edna Phenomena', whereby many more users followed in-step by replicating the same antics as the original pranksters. This is when many 'Edna imposters'; sprung up all throughout the site, as it continues still, thus creating a cult. Yahoo! had taken the action by suspending as many suspicious Yahoo! Answers accounts that is the sole intent of impersonating Edna. Yahoo! did the same as well with questions pertaining to the subject of Edna. There are many of the 'Edna imposters' remaining somewhere out there parading around while impersonating Edna. Also, it continues that many people who do not know who Edna is, asks about the whole 'Edna phenomena'. That is so far all I know about the whole phenomena.

Edna is a guy/girl --- we don't know. Avatar looks like a big man in a dress (crossdresser). Edna has a last name like Bimbeck or some odd thing on the Avatar. Edna left for "confession" a while ago (ha ha ha) -- I doubt it. Anyway, he/she will be back. There are people imposing though so be sure to click the right one. When she/he returns, you'll know. Click in his/her Avatar and see his/her questions and answers and you'll see why. A lot have probably been deleted by Yahoo though.

I just noticed it myself today. Theres some woman who is named Edna who started comign here telling people to clean up their act and there are many people making fun of her by making new Ednas. It's all very childish, and with the way this stuffs been going around you and I will get "reported" just for talking about it. So, be prepared for that. It's silly I know.

Edna was one of the tellitubbies that got cancelled before the show got off the ground. It appears her character really lacked the depth of the others and the producers eliminated her role to reduce cost.
Hope that helps! Thanks for the 2 points!
