The BBC Needs Our Help!

Created Jul 18 2001 - 11:00pm
I got an email about two weeks ago from a woman named Sally. She's working on a documentary on toilets for the BBC -- a three-hour, six-part in-depth exploration of the toilet. Her documentary touches upon all aspects of our favorite household appliance: humor, art, sex & drugs, and more. Here is how she describes it:

The documentary is basically 6 x 30 mins for BBC Choice, one of the new digital channels on BBC in the UK. The 6 programmes are all about different aspects of loo life!

TX ( programme ) 1: Best vs. Worst - travelling the world on a journey of discovery.

TX 2: The Highs and Lows - Sex and Drugs in the loo. Why do people have sex in a toilet - why is it seen as the place to do drugs - where are the sex friendly loos. What are places doing to combat drug taking.

TX 3: Good vs. Bad behaviour in the toilet - Sticking to or breaking the rules, toilet etiquette and how not to behave in a loo .. No dumping at work vs. George Michael etc.

TX 4: Fear and Obsession - From phobia to pure love. The extreme and the weird.

TX 5: Highbrow vs. Lowbrow - from Artists to comedians we look at the concept of toilet art as serious artform and people who just think loos are silly and funny.

TX 6: Life vs. Death - The cycle of toilet life, from our first relationships with the potty to our school life nightmares / meeting places to gossip and smoke. To the final moments of reliance and unfortunate death sites for a few.


Yeah, that's right up PoopReport's alley.

They're going to be in NYC in a few weeks. They're going to film me, that's pretty neat. I'm going to be a famous toilet person in England!

But they're not from around here. So, in preparation for their visit, they've asked us PoopReporters to help them out.

If you have anything to contribute for the following subjects, please email me, and I'll pass it along to them:


BEST/WORST TOILETS:
They're filming in NYC and LA. They want to find the best and worst toilets in those cities. Do you have any goodrecommendations? (e.g. The Village Idiot in NYC)

My best/worst toilet:


Prove you are human:



ETIQUETTE:
They're doing a report on American toilet etiquette. We all know the rules (where to stand if another man is at the urinal, etc.). We live them every day. Does anyone out there want to codify them (we need both guys' and girls' rules)? This would be great P.R. for us ("Here are the official rules for bathroom etiquette, according to PoopReport.com.")

COMEDY:

"COTTAGING"
Out there, when guys go pick up other guys in public bathrooms, it's known as cottaging. Does anyone know anything about this? Especially, where it happens in NYC or LA?

Please, help out if you can, and pass this on to your friends -- especially the BEST/WORST in NYC part. The more we help them out, the more we get on TV.

Keep watching this space for more info.
