    Think of all the products they try to sell us, toilet roll, toilet cleaners, bleaches scented stuff etc etc and I have never seen a dirty big log floating in a bowl, why can't they show Poo on tv, is this the last taboo left to be broken, we have seen nudity, the gay kiss, but the log in all it's glory remains elusive.

    And pee/menstrual blood is shown as a blue liquid.
    It's not blue people!

    They don't show wees either. And in feminine hygiene ads, the blood is blue :eek:


    Wierdos



    Edit-D'oh.

    Fascinating observation! Maybe its down to stagefright, i.e. the poo guy froze when the pressure was on!

    but a bit of pressure is great for loosening the bowels

    Washing up powder adds, there covered in blood and ****.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,909 ✭✭✭✭Wertz


    Nope, that's chocolate.
    Scatalogical matters remain the final frontier in terms of TV and most movies and especially ads where they're trying to sell you something, as if talking about sh*t or showing it maybe somehow blights your product (even when it's a cleaner or other item sold to deal with said sh*t).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,031 ✭✭✭Lockstep


    I never understood baby pants commercials.
    What kinda baby pees blue liquid?


    Also why do they insist on showing babies butts at 9am in the morning in the adds.
    Last thing I need to start the day.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 23,556 ✭✭✭✭Sir Digby Chicken Caesar


    yeah, I've often wondered if paedophiles feel the same way about commercials featuring babies as we do about commercials featuring jessica alba

    I saw a log on tv yesterday. It was on Charlie Brookers Screenwipes. Filthy hussy went into the corner and made a big ****, then didn't apologise for it.

    When the only really mainstream show that deals with the thing head on is a feckin' cartoon (yes, I know it's so much more thatn that) you start to see that we, as a society like to have a huge blindspot about matters like pissing, sh*tting and even farting. Love those ads about constipation and women stuffing handbags full of food...they don't even call it constipation FFS, I think they use bloated or somesuch....jesus call a spade a spade...

    I love those ads for constipation remedies where women smile to the camera and tell us how "free" and "clear" they feel after using the products. I always think "Missus, you're just after blowing a torrent of scalding shite out of your arsehole and now you're telling the world."


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,909 ✭✭✭✭Wertz


    Yes but it's all soo sanitised dahling....and if we close our eyes we can pretend it's an ad for Chanel No5....well except for the pleasant fragrances or lack thereof.

    There was a good documentary on BBC2 recently called Boys From The Brown Stuff which is about sewerage workers in England. Plenty of sh*t in that. They talked about 'tasting the smell at the back of their throat'.


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    Actually I remember them discussing this on the Family Guy DVD commentary. They were commenting on how odd it was that its such a faux pas to show piss or sh*t on tv compared to everything else they get away with.


  • Moderators, Education Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 35,109 Mod ✭✭✭✭AlmightyCushion


    Wait a minute, what the hell is the OP talking about? Their is plenty of shít on shown tv. Sure isn't celebrity big brother starting up soon.

    It's not the same tho. I bet there was no shots of poop squeezing out of someones heinyhole before going splosh into the toiletbowl?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 37,214 ✭✭✭✭Dudess


    OP, watch Pink Flamingos: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0069089/

    Also there's that swimming pool scene in Caddyshack. Although I can't remember whether it's really a poo or something else but the people only THINK it's a poo. Whatever it is, Bill Murray takes a bite out of it.

    They don't show wees either. And in feminine hygiene ads, the blood is blue

    its deoxygenated blood and its kept in a vacuum so it doesn't become oxygenated. an all of the platelets are taken out and its diluted !

    That Japanese vid is definitely one of the funniest things I've ever, ever seen! Thanks so much for it, JC 2K3!

    Damn. Clip no longer on YouTube. Oh well, here's the dialogue:
    I'm disrespectful to dirt!
    Can you see I am serious!

    Get out of my way, all of you!
    This is no place for loafers.
    Join me or die.
    Can you do any less?

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,239 ✭✭✭✭WindSock


    Yay, Mr Sparkle. out of my way, all of you.

    That clip is hilarious. What a fun happy time they have in japan at toilet time.

    Lawl at the kid squeezing a dirt at the end :D
