On twitter nobody know's you're a satirist

Like the old joke about nobody knowing you're a dog on the Internet it appears that twitter has fooled a few of the unwitting.  Apparently Vancouver Mayoral hopeful Gregor Robertson supporters set up a fake Peter Ladner twitter account and said things like the following:

Ahhhh! Damn Blackberry rang all F*ing day. Turning it off and jumping in my hot tub with a 6'er of Bud Light Lime. Le weekend starts... NOW.

If the *'ed out cussing didn't tip readers off then presumably the Bud Lite Lime exposed the prank.  Apparently some missed the gag.
