Grape Lane (euph.)

Looks like we survived yesterday’s featuring of Gropecunt Lane on the front page of English Wikipedia. Total press coverage: Popbitch — not one word elsewhere. I’m amazed. I did write a suitable News of the News. Even the on-site angst was minimal (good discussion on Raul654’s user page). Did someone fail to think of the fictional children?

Update: Second bit of press: Stephen Fry approves.

    No press release? Without a press release you’ll never get any coverage!

    Journalists don’t do research anymore - they rejig stuff that comes in from outside!
