VICTORIA, British Columbia -- Mr. Floatie, a community activist who dresses up in a feces costume to decry the pumping of raw sewage into the waters off British Columbia's capital, has withdrawn his name as a candidate for mayor.
The city had planned to challenge Mr. Floatie's candidacy in court.
James Skwarok, the man inside the costume, said the city apparently took issue with his candidacy because only real people can run for municipal office.
"Of course I'm not a real person," Skwarok said earlier this week. "I'm a big piece of poop."
Skwarok was not available for further comment.
Mr. Floatie has become a regular sight at public gatherings.
He passes out pamphlets drawing attention to Victoria's practice of pumping sewage directly into the Juan de Fuca after only a screening to remove solids.

I assumed this was about the New York City mayor's race.

He'd fit right in the DNC, we deal with it all the time, and they don't even have to dress up.
