by The Hook Blog — February 5, 2010


Olympic rings floating in the harbour and plastered on signage all over town, you'd expect many Vancouver residents would be about ready to ring off -- until this week. Suddenly another ring has emerged to capture the hearts of people across the country. It's the hottest page on Facebook: Can This Onion Ring Get More Fans Than Stephen Harper? The answer: Yes it can. And quicker than you can say "Pass me that breath mint."

The Facebook page features a picture of an onion ring and a plea for support. It wasn't long in coming. Started about 48 hours ago by an anonymous Facebooker, the page caught fire fast. By Wednesday evening it had passed 8,000 fans; at times, totals were mounting at the rate of hundreds per minute.
