Well, there is that ... I didn't throw that in because I think MySQL is great, on the contrary - we're having some issues with it here at work (don't ask), but it is being used for large installations, too. And then of course there is this http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?p=2141344#post2141344 post where this guy (no idea whether he is (or was) what he claimed to be) rambling on about how MySQL is better than PostgreSQL.
