Is This What They Mean By Crowdsourcing?

Thanks, Metafilter! We talked about the strange saga of Mr. Splashy Pants in the blue back in November; today, as a more or less direct result, it's a feature story in The Globe & Mail. I often describe MeFi as my water cooler - because I work alone from home, it's the place I go to get my mind revving over my morning coffee. I probably wouldn't have stumbled on Mr. Splashy if not for this site, and it made a great story, so I just wanted to say thanks. And I figured since folks are always speculating on when and how MeFi influences the mainstream media, this kind of incontivertible proof trumped the shameless self-linkage in terms of this being MeTa-worthy. (By the way, here's a link to a Greenpeace blogger's summary in case that Globe link winds up buried behind a subscriber wall.)

Complaining that all pants are made for fat people is offensive

Could we please blame fat people for everything that doesn't go our way more often? It's awesome and not at all bitchy.
