HEADER


Dedicated to the intellectual appreciation of poop humor, PoopReport gets almost 10,000 readers a day, and serves over 600,000 pages a month. After running the site for six years, Dave Praeger [1], the founder and editor of PoopReport, may know more about the manifestations of poop in contemporary culture than, well, anyone. He's even written a book on that very subject: Poop Culture: How America is Shaped by its Grossest National Product [2] (published by Feral House [3]). He's available for interviews, feature stories, keynote addresses, and bachelorette parties. Email him! [4]

Outside of Saudi Arabia -- where Harvard documents PoopReport as being blocked by the ruling regime [5] -- Dave has been featured by countless media outlets; below are some of the best.
