The "Wicked Toast" was indeed the original view, I have since seen a news posting where they pointed out the article several hours before the Everything 2 version.
And going by random googling since I first came by Mount and Blade has shown a great increase in attention to the game in the past few weeks. I think when I first googled for mount and blade there were only three hits on the first page that were actually about the game (lawnmowers I think was the big topic). Now its reversed, and seven out of ten that appear are reviews or forum posts regarding the game.
