I don't think the "manitee grey" story is as much funny as it is a WTF moment. You would expect that SOMEONE might have noticed that naming a plus-sized garment after such a sweet but famously girthy creature might have unfortunate connotations. I mean really.
And that WTF element to the story IMO is what makes it newsworthy. I don't mean front page above-the-fold newsworthy of course...
