Web site shames wild poopers

Posted 07.22.2005 by Logjam
Here's a story that perhaps poses a dilemma for those subscribing to the principles of PoopReport.com. Norwegian officials at the waterfall Vøringfossen are posting on their web site photos of visitors caught on camera relieving themselves on the road between Bergen and Oslo.

"Too many people are using the woods as a toilet," said Lise Nilsen, who's responsible for Vøringfossen's web site. As a result, people "are stepping on excrement and the trails stink of urine. Something had to be done."

So they posted a sign asking tourists to use public toilets and warning them that they may be photographed and outed on the waterfall's web site. If you visit the site, you'll see that it would be impossible to identify any of those caught in the act from these photos. Nevertheless, they seem to be aiming for clear, identifying shots.

So: playing the Shameful card to get people to be more responsible shitters and pissers. A proper use of technology? A scandalous infringement on civil rights? What do we PoopReporters think?

MSS is right!! If you can't go in the woods, where can you go....!!!? Its better than dropping crisp packets, chocolate wrappings, cans or bottles for heavens sake!!!

I have mixed feelings on this issue. You should be able to poop in peace without being photographed and posted on the internet. But I really don't want to hike along a trail where I have to step in shit and smell piss all day. If I wanted that I'd go to the outhouse museum.

I don't think posting pictures of people on a website is going to stop the problem. The pictures I've seen really don't look like someone is taking a dump, for one thing. (Not that I really want to see that! Ew!) But then there are people who like to attract attention to themselves. Some sicko out there might crap around the woods for the soul purpose of WANTING to be photographed. Stupid idea, to say the least!

What if everyone farted at once?

TSV - you are right about not having to tread in it. I'm all in favour of pooping in the great outdoors, but responsibly, where others are not likely to tread!!
