Long-time Twitter users know that when Twitter gets over-capacity, the Fail Whale appears. Yesterday, Team Coco posted the Conan Pale Whale, a Conan-ified Fale Whale by the same designer, on their blog.
Amazing Fail Whale artist @YiyingLu did a special piece of artwork just for us! May we present the #conanpalewhale – http://bit.ly/deGifO—

How great would it be if Twitter actually used the Conan Pale Whale (instead of the fail whale) today! This is an innovation waiting to happen. Twitter could sell one-day Fail Whale sponsorships and turn a frustrating experience into a fun one.
Twitter could also change the Fail Whale for special occasions, like Google did today with its X-Ray Google Doodle.
Reminder: Conan is back tonight at 11 on TBS!
