The Gold Medal Flush Story on MSNBC

Written by Pats Papers | Thursday, 11 March 2010 5:27 AM

We’ve never posted a story on Pat’s Papers that attracted as much attention as the story about bathroom breaks in Edmonton during the Olympic gold medal hockey game. When I first saw the EPCOR water consumption graph making the rounds on Twitter I didn’t realize it was so early in its viral lifespan. (That became clear as web traffic picked up later in the day.)

Thanks to Chris Hayes and producers at the Rachel Maddow Show for giving us a shout out the other night.
