Faster Than WikiLeaks: We Scoop The NY Times, Once Again

OK, this isn’t really a major story, but we’ll wallow in the victory of our scoop.
Last month we wrote that Cheap Knock-Offs Are Giving Fine Counterfeits A Bad Name. And almost three weeks later, here is the NY Times’ lede paragraph,

In California, the authorities recently seized a shipment of counterfeit Angel Soft toilet paper.
The Times devoted column inches to ho-hum items like sunglasses, sneakers, and handbags.
