**FIRST PRIZE** The winner of this contest will receive their very own Turd Twister!

In the meantime, I'm going to move forward with the campaign. PoopReport needs a celebrity spokesperson. Someone whose very presence says, "I represent poop, and it's my mission to spread the gospel of poop across the land!"

Someone like Wilford Brimley, perhaps. His work with oatmeal has inspired regularity in millions of Americans -- which means his voice already resonates with potential PoopReporters.

So that's PoopReport Contest #8: Who do you think should be PoopReport's celebrity spokesperson, and why?

Big thanks to Turd Twister for supplying the prize.

Voting has begun. Click here to vote.

The Ideal Celebrity Poop Spokesperson?

• Example:
  Clearly, Wilford Brimley is the most appropriate spokesperson for PoopReport. As the former Quaker Oats spokesman, he's been selling shit to the American public for years. His rustic demeanor reminds me of all the comforts of home -- and that's where I like to poop the best. If Wilford were to talk to me about poop, I would put on my favorite cardigan, eat a slice of Mom's apple pie, and sit down on the toilet and heed his words.

• Michael Jordan is undeniably the most important and influential spokesman to have ever graced the advertising world. Who else has had actually slogans ("Be Like Mike") or a series of shoes named after himself (Air Jordans)? This man is a marketing machine and if by putting a checkmark and his name on some average athletic shoes raises the value by $150, just think what he can do for poop! This man would sell his shits faster than Nicaraguan kidnappers auctioning off kidnapped wealthy American children to impotent upper-class Brazilian couples. With all the buzz around the NBA's greatest player of all time, Jordan would allow all those who see him as a role model to save up their McDonald's paychecks and buy a pair of Shit Jordans. After all, everyone else is getting them so why not you, too.

• George W. Bush. The ultimate shit-talker of all time! And every time I see Georgey on T.V. It reminds me that I have to take a shit. He is kind of like a Television laxative. George Bush, shit president of the world!

• Make no mistake about it, Arthur Giblin was the man who invented the first flushable toilet. As a marketing strategy, he relinquished invention rights to his boss, Thomas Crapper -- the man to which we wrongly credit the invention. However factual information was lost, so was credit due to Mr. Giblin misplaced. We have let the man lie quietly under the lid of Crapper's mythical saga and it is time we flush out Giblin to raise him to the status he has deserved for so long.

  Why Mr. Giblin at Poopreport.com? Mr. Giblin's vision introduced a convenient and sanitary alternative to outhouses and, well, buckets. The act of flushing, in it of itself, has affected the American lifestyle. Many have experienced the unrivaled satisfaction derived from observing a variety of substances flush away. Courtesy flushes have graced the American social conscience. Flushed-water flow continually spins intellectual curiosity about the Coriolis effect. And what good is a plunger if a toilet need not flush?

  So now when I hear a passerby blurt out "I stepped in dog crap", I think to myself "that person should be saying 'I stepped in dog gib'". Okay it doesn't sound good, but you get the idea. Thank you, Mr. Giblin, and tonight I honor you with a 21-flush salute. Move over Crapper and p'shaw to sliced bread... Mr. Giblin -- your time might soon be here.

• In lieu of a spokesperson, I would suggest a celebrity poop spokespuppet. It might seem a little unorthodox, yet at the same time absolutely appropriate. And so I nominate Triumph the Insult Comic Dog. Just imagine him saying "Go to PoopReport.com. It's a great website...for me to poop on!"

• Art Linkletter seems like a natural. A man who works with children HAS to see his fair share of feces.

• Sally Struthers might also want to carry the banner triumphant. Her caloric intake alone would have to produce buckets full of hot steamy loaf.

• If only it could be, Kurt Cobain would make a wonderful poop spokesman. Listen to his words and you'll hear that deep, groaning agony, as if he's letting loose the worst log he's ever had - in every song!

• I think the spokesperson should be someone that could put humor in talking about taking a shit so I pick Eddie Murphy. If anyone has seen Eddie's stand up comedy movie "Raw" they might agree. Eddie does a routine in which he talks about how his idol Richard Pryor can talk about anything and make it funny, even taking a shit. Eddie then proceeds with a perfect impression of Richard talking about taking a shit, I have watched it 100 times and I still laugh everytime. Go out to your video store and rent "Raw" and you will agree with me.

• Rodney Dangerfield would be great. He is just like poop, he gets no respect and most of the time he stinks.

• I would have to say the perfect spokesperson would be Ron Popeil (see http://shop.ronco.com/images/ronsmall01.jpg). This is one man who has devoted his life to peddling of shit to the wary consumer. By shit, I am obviously referring to substandard items of convenience that turn the laziest of people into the... uh... MORE laziest people. Does the food dehydrator ring a bell? Yes, he taught us that you can turn anything into jerky.

  Anyhow, he is charismatic and believes in his products no matter how lame they are. Also, check out his last name; Popeil, pronounced (poh-peel). There is a library of shit jokes and poop references in his last name alone. Visit http://shop.ronco.com/ and you be the judge.

• Oh, come on! Who better to represent the Poopreport than the talking poo himself, Mr. Hanky? Sure he's a fictitious piece of cartoon turd, but when you think poop, Mr. Hanky has to come to mind. And damnit, Dave, as soon as I saw the name of the contest I was going to insist on Mr. Brimley. Damn! It's scary that you thought of him too. Anyway, Mr. Hanky the X-mas Poo, a visionary....a leader. Vote Hanky in March!!!!!!

• OK, these are the last 2 for today, they're similar... The lady from the old Wendy's "Where's the beef?!" ad, and the lady from the medic-alert "I've fallen and I can't get up!" ad. Both would do us right (but are they both dead?). (and I won't mention Janice Joplin...oops...)

• It's gotta be everybody's spokesman, the Past-Tense of Poopness, William SHATner!!
  -- Posted 2.28.02002 by Ada
  
  
• God. He would be the perfect spokesperson for poopreport.com. Everybody knows who He is and I gotta believe that people will trust him when he endorses a product. Being omniscient, He inspires confidence. Also, let's not forget that He invented poop, so He must know what He is talking about.

• How about this: although physically extinct, why not recruit the services of a Brontosaurus? Paleontologists estimate that these massive sauropods produced a TON of poop every day! A ton! Nothing that has ever lived on Earth had such pooping-prowess. Poopreport can engineer a cute, consumer-friendly, computer-generated brontosaurus spokesmodel. He won't demand a high-paying Hollywood contract (like Wilfred Brimley), and will utter nothing but grunting sounds, not unlike those of your average human passing an above-average log of dung. Grrrrughhhh!!

  1. Henry Kissinger has always been full of shit!
  2. On the religious right we have the twin turds of anal retention in: Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell.
  3. Louis Farrakhan - should be self explanatory
  4.Ken Starr because he doesn't think his shit stinks -- just likes to stir it up

• Linda Tripp because she loves getting into other people's shit... Big scoop on Poop is her idea of a good time. Other people's shit excites her. Plus she was quoted as saying, "I would have cleaned The White House toilets with my tongue to work there again." I think a swell opportunity was missed.

• Mr. Rogers. He is always so calm, you KNOW he must be keeping himself regular. With his laid back persona and respectability, he can bring validity to what he sells. Plus he can reach that younger market. And I could swear I've seen rolls of TP in that closet of his, maybe due to that fact that his show is so shitty anyway.

• I've thought about this and I've got to go with my gut (no pun intended)... I wish to nominate The King! Yes! Elvis Presley! Old, fat, bloated Elvis, mind you...not young studly movie star, hound dog Elvis. I can picture him on the stage in a Vegas venue with his fat can crammed into his Evil Knievel-esque outfit with a half a chicken stuffed in the pocket and a big jar of Pepto in the other, belting away an unintelligble tune, half out of his mouth, half out of his winker, just waiting until he can down a few pills and sit on his throne and finish off that chicken. I mean, he died on the crapper and he liked to shoot out TV's, what else can I say? I think he's a worthy candidate.

• I feel the perfect PoopReport spokesperson is Ed McMahon. His whole career is based on being a sidekick -- that is, being #2. As a man who spent so many years in the position of #2, he surely has something to say in that regard. "PoopReport: Your #1 Source For Your #2 Business. And I should know!"

• All the skate fans out there (and a few of u posers who watched Jackass) will know of CKY. And in knowing of CKY will know of Cris Raab. AKA Raab Himself. In Cky2k and Cky3 as well as a number of other various videos, he has taken shits in a number of places, including, but not limited to, off a 4 story parking garage, in a pool, out of a speeding car and while running full speed. Check out CKY2k and CKY3 and you will see. His shitting techniques are quite profound and he would make the best spokesperson.

• How about Jared from the Subway commercials? I'm betting that they are letting him go soon because I haven't really seen him on T.V. anymore and I bet he is looking for a new job... He probably knows a bunch about poop considering he lost all that weight, and from eating all those "fresh" subway subs I bet he has had at least one decent dump. So I would say that Jared is my number one choice.

• Why settle for just a spokesperson when you could have a poster child as well? My candidate would be Janet Reno. Just by looking at her, one can tell that she has a load cocked and ready. As a matter of fact, yesterday's load is still in her shorts so your fans would never have to wait for results. Her pinched expression reveals one who really, really needs to go NOW........ or maybe just has.
