It was a campaign to stop Japan from killing whales and Greenpeace adopted a whale and was voting on the name. Reddit exploded and everybody loved the name Mister Splashy Pants so everybody was voting for that and thumbing it up. It was a success and Japan ended up cancelled their whaling expedition. Hope this helped!
