The open blog site WordPress unexpectedly crashed on Friday March 26th. The site experienced unprecedented traffic to one of its blog pages, swamping the server.
The blog that caused the Internet fury, was a relatively small weekly, article driven page, on mattresses.
Apparently, a submission written by the mattress author went viral at around 3:30 on Friday afternoon. The article in question concerned a recent sighting of Johnny Depp in his pajamas.
Depp was filming his new film “The Tourist,” in Venice Italy, when he was spotted running through the streets in his nightwear. The mattress author caught wind of the story and posted it on mattressvancouver.wordpress.com.
TMZ is now interested in purchasing the site and Perez Hilton has inquired about a guest editor position.
WordPress has requested the blog page be moved to a new location that is capable of handling the thousands of readers the page is currently attracting.
We are glad you found the new page.
This is just a friendly reminder that Thursday is April Fools.
Plan something big, film or document it and send your work in and we will include your story in next week’s posts.
Our thousands of readers are waiting patiently for your submission.
