Vote: Mr. Floatie
Man costumed as feces has case in court to settle
Canadian Press Oct. 18, 2005 07:35 AM VICTORIA, Canada - Mr. Floatie - a brown, smiling lump of feces - will have to take a break from his environmental concerns Tuesday as he heads to British Columbia Supreme Court. The costumed crusader for sewage treatment is being challenged by the city of Victoria because of his nomination as a candidate for the position of mayor in the upcoming municipal election. Mr. Floatie is a high-profile and tireless reminder of Victoria's practice of pumping raw sewage into the Strait of Juan de Fuca. advertisement The man inside the costume, James Skwarok, says the city appears to be taking issue with his candidacy because only real persons can run. It's an objection he finds moot. "Of course I'm not a real person, I'm a big piece of poop." The move by the city to keep Mr. Floatie off the throne of power has left him "beyond bummed out. I was fuming." Robert Woodland, Victoria administrator, says the law governing municipal elections clearly states that only people can run for a position. And they must do so under their real name. Woodland says he can personally attest that Mr. Floatie is not a real person. "He is a costume character." hxxp://www.azcentral.com/offbeat/articles/1018MrFloatie18-ON.html

Why not run as James "Mr. Floatie" Skwarok, or does he not actually want the position? Probably thats it, just trying to get Mr. Floatie and his cause recognized. Still, the guy should consider it. Make up signs with him in his Mr. Floatie costume.

If he wins he should go to all the meetings in his floatie suit.

I believe Parker and Stone probably need to reserve their lawyer for copyright infringement. The only difference between him and Mr. Hanky is the fact that Mr. Hanky wears a Santa hat.
