Could it happen here?

Could an MSE thread go (inter)nationally viral? The mumsnet penis beaker thread apart from making me laugh loads made me wonder if the same could happen here.

    I nearly had an asthma attack laughing at Buzzfeed's article on that thread! I think the original message had the woman's real name on as well! It has always interested me how quickly MSE threads show in Google results.

  • You've made my day - I had absolutely no idea what you were talking about - amazing what a google search throws ups.

    That has to be one of the funniest discussions I've read in a long time:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Just read the Buzzfeed article, absolutely hysterical!! Some of the replies are just comedy gold.
  • OH I needed this in my life today, so stressed out and having read a bit of the back ground I wanted to prove it was a load of hype by reading it and say it was [EMAIL="!!!!"]!!!![/EMAIL], but I caved and have been in stitches, trouble is it's still getting so much traffic the pages are buffering, It's worth it, if you've not had a look yet...read it!
    Some times you have to hold back to go forward to where you want to be.

    Like a catapolt!

    I'd love to know how Mr Penis Beaker is feeling tonight!

    Some of the posters have such a wonderful way with words!
