Holidays '01: Crappy Gift Ideas
Posted 12.05.2001 by Dave (11998)
Every other site in the world goes commercial around this time of year... we thought we'd join in the fun.
Sometimes, the fact that I'm shilling a particular product may seem ethically suspect. I've identified most of the conflicts of interest.
UNDER-EASE FART-BLOCKING UNDERWEAR
Someone's
finally done it. Underwear with a built-in filter that keeps the fart
smell in. Imagine the possibilities! Now you (or your smelly significant other)
can fart with impunity, unconcerned about whether gassy pleasure causes others
pain.
Now, $21.00 may seem like a lot for underwear, but I guess you have to decide
what's worth more -- money or fresh air.
CRONYISM ALERT: None, actually, although I did once ask the folks at
Under-Ease
for a pair so I could review it. They never responded to me.

FECES FROM FECES FARMS
I'll
only buy my fake feces from a small mom-and-pop shop that sells fake feces for the
right reason -- for the love, not the profit.
At Feces Farms, you get geniune, honest-to-goodness fake feces, produced lovingly
by people who care. Plus, each fake feces comes with an official Certificate of
Authentishitty. Choose from "log" or "pretzel." CRONYISM ALERT: Feces Farms gives PoopReport free feces to
use as prizes for our various
contests.

THE BROWN ALBUM -- BEER SOFTENED STOOL
The
self-described "Lords of Potty Punk," Beer Softened Stool's The Brown Album is, in the words of our review, a good album to play "when you're drunk and angry." Although the CD is a little light on poop-specific content for my tastes, our
reviewer gave it three wipes.
CRONYISM ALERT: Beer Softened Stool's Fan Club President,
Chip Brown, is a good friend of and frequent contributor to PoopReport.

THAT'S DISGUSTING: AN ADULT GUIDE TO WHAT'S GROSS, TASTELESS, RUDE, CRUDE &
LEWD by Greta Garbage.
Page
after page of sex, dung and other such stuff. Nasty stories, facts and trivia
about everything. Basically, all you've ever laughed about on South Park is
covered in this book, only this stuff really happened.
CRONYISM ALERT: Greta has ran book excerpts on PoopReport in the past,
and once
gave me an autographed copy of That's Disgusting. Plus, I'm an Amazon Associate,
so I get 15%.

HOW TO GOOD-BYE DEPRESSION: IF YOU CONSTRICT ANUS 100 TIMES EVERDAY.
MALARKEY? OR
EFFECTIVE WAY? by Hiroyuki Nishigaki
The
premise behind Hiroyuki Nishigaki's book (translated from the Japanese) is that
if you constrict your anus 100 times a day, you feel good. I just constricted
once, and that felt pretty good, so I imagine 99 more times will be bliss. Plus,
Hiroyuki claims some fellas experience added sexual prowess with this technique ---
as if you needed more convincing.
CRONYISM ALERT: None! I'm actually recommending this book out of the
goodness of
my heart, and not blatant self-interest. Except, I'm an Amazon Associate, so I get
15%.

ENEMA STORY by Normane Cobbleson
From
the author's Amazon.com statement: "'Enema Story' is about the life of a
fictional character, Charlie Wisner. The time frame is from the late '30s to the
new millennium. The story details the enema and colonic irrigation aspects of the
character's life from childhood on. The novel is unusual because the subject matter
has been considered taboo in recent years, and the focus of the story is on this
aspect of Charlie's life."
CRONYISM ALERT: None, except the 15% Amazon will hook me up with if you
buy this
winner.

DAN WOOD: THE LONGEST URINAL
Dan
Wood is a gifted artist who's work explores the toilet as a cultural
institution from Roman times to the present. Dan's
work teaches us
that as far as technology has advanced, humanity is still driven by the same basic
needs: we eat, we drink, and we shit. Now, Dan's art ain't cheap, but it's
meaningful, and for the culturally aware PoopReporter, it's a must have.
CRONYISM ALERT: I'm bugging him to do an article for PoopReport, and I'm
hoping that this
listing here will encourage him.

HOW TO SHIT IN THE WOODS: AN ENVIRONMENTALLY SOUND APPROACH TO A LOST ART by Kathleen Meyer
A featured part of Chip Brown's Book of the Dump Club,
this book is written by a Colorado River guide with a slant towards teaching people not to shit where they drink.
CRONYISM ALERT: None! Except if enough people buy this, Amazon will give me a huge commission and I can retire.

THE INTERNET URINAL
If
you're like me, sometimes you can't tear yourself away from the ol' computer
until it's almost too late -- or, every so often, when it's just too late. Now,
thanks to some cleverly molded plastic, all your problems are solved.
CRONYISM ALERT: None! I just like this product.

BUB L. BREEZER
This cute little guy makes fart noises and blows bubbles out of his
tiny puckered little brown asshole.
Awwwwww! Lookit him go! Hehehehheee hee heee!
CRONYISM ALERT: None! My friend Michelle gave me one, but I'm not
promoting it out of self interest.

EVERYONE POOPS by Taro Gomi
It's
true, everyone poops. This little kids' book teaches one of the more important
messages we can learn: namely that poop is natural, it's beautiful, and everyone
and everything does it. (Well, maybe not the beautiful part).
CRONYISM ALERT: None! Except the ching-ching from Amazon if you buy
this.

THE TOILET PAPERS: RECYCLING WASTE AND CONSERVING WATER by Sim Van Der Ryn
Another
recommended selection from Chip Brown's Book of the Dump Club! According to Chip, this book covers the basic history of toilets and explains in layman's terms some of the available alternative pooping technologies.
CRONYISM ALERT: None! Except Amazon's cash in my pocket. But believe me, I could use it.
