"Everyone Poops:" bridging the Shameful gapPosted 02.07.2005 by Turd Hugegrunt
Everyone Poops is currently Japan's best-selling English-translated picture book, using colorful illustrations and straightforward text to describe all kinds of animal poop by their colors, shapes, and even smells. The intent is to breach the poop taboo fostered by anal-retentive high-society types.
The book's best-selling status indicates there is a lesser degree of  taboo in Japanese society regarding the subject of poop than heretofore realized. The same goes for English speaking cultures, as shown by the book's sales in the translation edition. Let's hear a round of heartfelt applause from Shameless PoopReporters around the globe! And while we are at it, let's hear a thunderous clap of flatulence for Everyone Poops' sister title, and possible runner-up in the Best Japanese Picture Book Export category, The Gas We Pass: The Story of Farts. With sales totaling over 867,000, the title has done 2 1/2 times better in English than in Japanese. English-speaking farters can give themselves a shameless little pat on the backside for that. Written and illustrated by different authors, both books begin with an elephant doing its duty. In Everyone Poops, author Taro Gomi has an elephant dumping a huge load of colorfully illustrated dung, captioned with the words "Okii zo wa okii unchi" or "An elephant makes a big poop;" and "Chiisai nezumi wa chisai unchi," or  "A mouse makes a tiny poop." Anyone know the Japanese word for "peanut-studded turd?" In The Gas We Pass, author and illustrator Shinta Cho begins his story with a father and son being blown from the first page to the second by a huge cloud of musky flatulence emanating from an elephant's buttocks, with the explosive caption "BUOOON!" On the second page, father and son are shown farting in a bathtub. A family that plays together, stays together. Both Everyone Poops and The Gas We Pass have served many positive purposes -- particularly helping potty train toddlers, and fostering discussion of topics that suffer shamefully in so-called polite society. PoopReport encourages parents to purchase both books to promote Shameless pooping and farting in their darling offspring.  Show some poop support, or make a poop retort.
