Contest #24: Headlines About Books And Poops

Posted 04.10.2007 by Dave (11451)
With the imminent release of my book, it's time for the advertising to kick into high gear. Perhaps you've seen the banner ads I've started running at the tops and bottoms of pages on the site. Kinda funny? Maybe. Think you can do better? I do.

I need your help coming up with funny poop-related headlines to promote Poop Culture. This is a contest that will have multiple winners -- every good headline will go into the ad rotation. The author of the headline will, of course, get full credit in the ad.

Here is what I've come up with so far:

  • "Get it hot and seaming off the presses."
  • "Get the book that's about to explode all over the literary scene."

    Your headlines don't have to begin with "get" -- those two just happened to do so. Also, feel free to make inside jokes or use humor only other PoopReporters will get -- those will just make anyone reading them wish they were part of our awesome club.

    Be the first to own the book that's got everyone quivering with anticipation.

    Poonanza (52) -- 04.10.2007

    Don't take this into the bathroom to read, lest your legs fall asleep.

    (meh that was flaccid. Can't think today.)

    I give this book two wipes up!

    ('nother lame-o :( )

    C Everett Poop (563) -- 04.10.2007

    "Today's best book about what you ate yesterday"

    The Big Wiper (2234) -- 04.10.2007

    Sit down to a solid read, full of nuggets of wisdom and big chunks of humor.

    Pulling My Pants Down For Peace, Plop and Posterity!

    Fart Poopie (1256) -- 04.10.2007

    Poop Culture: Much more than bathroom reading.

    Poop Culture: An excuse to talk about poop without the social stigma.

    Dave, send the book to Oprah. If she likes it, she might feature it in that book club of hers.

    Dave (11451) -- 04.10.2007

    TBW, CEP, MQS -- your ads are up and running!

    Poonanza: uh... keep trying.

    Keep those entries coming!

    Toots N. McCrack (160) -- 04.10.2007

    Ok, mine's just a version of the PR site motto:

    "The #1 book for America's #2 business."

    I LOVE TBW's, but I would have said "--big chunks of corny humor" ;P

    I'll have to think about this some more and get back to you.

    Toots N. McCrack (160) -- 04.11.2007

    Here I try to go again....

    "A must-read for anyone who has contemplated on the crapper."

    "Nature calls-- And this book answers!"

    "Poop Culture: The tome for your throne that hits home!"

    Ok, maybe I tried to shit and only farted again.... butt it's the thought that counts! (I still like TBW's and Hairy Pooter's is as great as his name! :)

    shitwit (500) -- 04.12.2007

    Pull up a warm stool and read all about it!

    You'll be talking crap about this book for a long time.

    The latest word in scatological findings.

    Fascinated by poop? Disgusted by poop? Both camps can meet at the head and learn more about our grossest national product.

    Rock-n-roll! Poopy-poo!

    Dave (11451) -- 04.12.2007

    Chuck, Shitwit, Toots -- got some of yours up in the rotation.

    Toots N. McCrack (160) -- 04.15.2007

    For what it is worth, I thought of a couple more--

    "A witty and insightful *anal*ysis from the guy who knows his shit."

    "A cleverly com*piled* masterpiece-of-crap."

    "Poop Culture: History in the making."

    "Finally, someone had the GUTS to tell this story!"

    Dave (last name) has pushed out a winner with the first must-read of 2007!

    Patriotic Pooper (not verified) -- 04.21.2007

    Oops. The sub above should be from Patriotic Pooper - not Patriot Pooper ...

    Professor Lump (34) -- 04.21.2007

    Much better than scats. Two bums up!

    Toots N. McCrack (160) -- 04.24.2007

    Awww.... where's "Poop Culture: History in the Making" ? I cracked myself up on that one! Not only is the book breaking ground and making history, it's about the history of pooping and how the nature of it impacts our culture, AND the twist, about "making" as another euphamism about producing elimination.... Well, I thought it was clever. I know you're busy but out of all the lame-o's I came up with, that was one of the better ones. (not saying much, I know, but still, funny on three levels? C'mon!).

    As an aside: Very much enjoying seeing all our contributions up in lights with our amateur commercial advertising skills! Very exciting to see who's great line will pop up next! AND, today my order of 2 Poop Cultures (sounds like a medical request) are, and I quote, 'are being sent earlier than anticipated." Yay! I get mine and my dad's copy will be in time for his B-day! :)
