Eddie Izzard's latest astounding achievement

The Globe and Mail published a fluffy little promotional interview with Eddie Izzard. This article has been on their website for at least 24 hours now, and spent most of the day headlined (and some of the day featured with a photo) on the front page. It has therefore received comments.

As of right now, every single comment is positive. Every. Single. One. No one is dissing Eddie or the author, no one is going off on their pet political tangent, no one is complaining that the G&M calls itself a national newspaper but this particular article doesn't cover their part of the country, no one is dissing other commenters, no one is posting "So who cares?" There are people going YAY Eddie, and there are quotefests. (And no one is even posting to complain that other posters are indulging in quotefests!) And on top of all this, only thumbs-up ratings have been given. No thumbs-down whatsoever! And this in a Globe & Mail comments page!

This might be even more miraculous than the marathons!

That only goes to prove that no one can find a bad thing to say about such a lovely person! Good for Eddie..but fans like you and me have always known this!
