What happened to Will Newsome's drunken HPMOR send-up? Did it get downvoted into oblivion?

I checked at Will Newsome's page. There seems to have been a failed effort to move it to Main.

On Twitter he suggested that EY had deleted it, but provided no evidence.

I just tested this by deleting one of my posts (it was a test post). The post can still be accessed, while Will Newsome's post can't be accessed anymore (except by visting his profile). My username disappeared from my post after deleting it, Will Newsome's name does still appear on his post under his profile. This seems to be evidence in favor of Will Newsome's claim that his post has been deleted by someone else than himself.

Yeah, that looks like it was deleted forcibly.

Is there anywhere that I can read it? It sounds mildly entertaining.

It is, and it's spot on.

You can read it on Will_Newsome's page, and the 17 comments are still there, but there's no way to add comments.

Appears to have been deleted.

Probably when he was again sober ;)

And it wasn't downvoted it was at the end at +7.

Pity, I was enjoying that thread. I was about to note in my suggestion of Worm with a EY avatar that Worm features an actually friendly AI, who is by far the nicest character in the entire saga.
