I have logged this post about Postapoo under Lifestyle, just to keep things tidy around here.

Bottom line, back in March I regurgitated a story by Fox News about the plea from Postapoo, urging the Scots to send a poo to their least favorite Englishman on St George's Day. This Scottish victimisation of the English was untrue. In fact, every inhabitant of the British isles was invited to celebrate in similar fashion on their saint's day too.

Here is the confirmation story sent to me straight from the horse's mouth at Poo HQ.

To clarify, we (PostaPoo.com) did not urge anyone to send a poo to an Englishman they hate but to their "favourite, or least favourite Englishman" - an ironic celebration of the national day and just like the promotion for St. Patrick's Day and St. Andrew's and St. David's Day. Poor reporting gone bad indeed.

So there we have it. In the true tradition of satirical reporting, Fox made sure that the facts did not get in the way of a better headline-grabbing story.

If you feel the urge to gift a favorite person with one of these non-aromatic turds, you know where to go. Don't worry, they shit world-wide and customs have been advised to pass them through unopened.

For a classier gift, perhaps they could offer Poo in a Prada Shoe for a favorite ex. And perhaps newspaper editors could Give a Shit to the most vociferous of their complaining readers. Any more ideas? I would ask you to Stumble Upon this article but that may be a step too far.
