"Big Piece Of Poop" Withdraws From Mayoral Race

One of my poo-operatives forwarded this to me: a British Columbia activist who calls himself "Mr. Floatie" and dresses up like a big piece of poo to highlight sewage dumping has withdrawn from the mayor's race in Victoria, BC.

James Skwarok, the man inside the costume, said the city apparently took issue with his candidacy because only real people can run for municipal office. "Of course I'm not a real person," Skwarok said earlier this week. "I'm a big piece of poop."

It's a blow for poo-related candidates everywhere. But keep on pushing, James, it'll come out in the end.
