Poopgate At The Courier-Post

Jim Hopkins of the Gannett Blog sends along the story of Poopgate at the Courier-Post. Morale is apparently low at the Camden/Cherry Hill paper, so much that somebody shit on the floor of the bathroom:

"Two months back, it was discovered that someone defecated on the floor of the editorial men's restroom. It went 13 hours before being cleaned up, I might add. 13 hours. The 'evidence' was nowhere near any of the toilets, so one of the operations folks designated it an act of vandalism... The event was christened 'Poopgate.' Fast forward to today when the same thing happened in the editorial women's restroom."

Somebody used to do this with cupcakes at my high school, and it closed the downstairs bathroom every couple of days for a few months. I supposed the editorial team is pissed at management, because at every newspaper everywhere ever, the editorial team is pissed at management. It's good to know the commenters on the paper's forum... are actually Courier-Post employees?
