It’s early in this news cycle. But there is already at least one memorable headline and an object-specific Twitter parody account. All thanks to the New York Mets social-media person who failed to notice the sex toy standing tall in the locker room space of catcher Kevin Plawecki before tweeting out a celebratory Friday post-game photo.

A second object-specific parody Twitter account has popped up alongside @TheMetsDildo. And since Friday-night game hero T.J. Rivera was shown after the game in the photo wearing the player-of-the-game crown, @TheMetsDildo has urged their modest initial group of followers to also follow @MetsCrown, an unofficial account started in April that also quickly jumped into the dildo fun.
