The search for a new poop is over
The great equalizer. The lowest common denominator. It's the shit—literally. On April 15, poopreport.com ("Your No. 1 source for your No. 2 business") is sponsoring Poop for Peace Day—a chance for people all over the world to put aside our differences, and reflect on the one experience we all share. Here's a brief description:
"Poop For Peace Day is not a day of protest. Pooping for peace is not a left-wing or right-wing activity. Pooping for peace is an act of unity. It's not about religion or politics. Rather, it's about the simple truth: underlying our religions and our politics are universal needs, wants and desires. To poop for peace is to transcend arbitrary divisions and embrace that which makes us human. Only from starting at such a fundamental truism can we hope to expand our understandings and solve our differences."
And consider this:
"Poop is the one experience all human beings have in common. We may have varying ideas of God and politics, but the power of an impending poop is a higher calling to which every human must answer. Side by side in a public bathroom, any two human beings are stripped of their differences and reduced to their most basic essence: a pair of feet sticking out below the stall, and a pair of butt trumpets performing a greasy symphony to lament humanity's non-negotiable deference to the call of the vile."
While the means may be tongue-in-cheek (so to speak), the desired goal—reflecting on the fact that like it or not, we are all one big family, inexorably linked and, for better or worse, forced to coexist—is no load of crap.
