Seacrest...poop!

Poop on Ryan Seacrest! TV Squad has a story about a guy who is having a contest. Be the first to take a dump on Ryan Seacrest's walk of fame star and win $50. Personally I think it should be more cash, considering you could get arrested.
You can shit elsewhere and transport it to the star. Much easier.

Now THAT is what MeFi should be about. Mocking posers with cool hair and awful tv shows.
If I were closer, I'd go and deposit one after I got over the shock of him having a star on the walk of fame. Who's next, the guy from the Charmin commercials? Really, they're giving stars to anyone these days.

Who the heck is Ryan Seacrest? Why should I care if some unnamed disgruntled assistant has a beef with him? Why can't this guy just do the deed himself?

Who is Ryan Seacrest and why should one want to defecate on his star, aside from the $50? (I don't really feel comfortable clicking that link right now)

I heard somewhere that one must actually purchase a Star - it's not some big honor bestowed from Hollywood on high. Can anyone confirm?

Heard that too. While I was searching for the answer I ran across an article about Godzilla getting a star, so there's some perspective for ya.

How about the first to take a dump into his enormous gaping maw--on TV? /not a fan
It's always been a racket--that star thing--if you pay the org. enough, you get a star--that's it.

Apparently he got the star for his many years in radio, NOT because he is the host of American Idol. The stars are decided upon by the municipality (is that what you American's call it?) of Hollywood. It's main purpose is to boost tourism, not to be the end all and be all of fame.
And yes, apparently, the city council has the star pay for it, with all the city work, paperwork, installation, etc, I think it's in the neighbourhood of 10k.

Why the hate towards Seacrest? Ya think I liked listening to Casey Kasem's aging/grating voice for much longer? Bet Seacrest doesn't have a potty mouth like this (wav file).

The $50 prize is conditioned on the blogger getting his first check from GoogleAds.
"The first person to capture a photograph of the event mentioned in the contest's title will receive the proceeds of my first check from GoogleAds [if/when I make it to the $50 mark to get the check]."
Personally, I don't even fart for less than a grand.

This is like that Vote for the Worst thing. It's already a joke. I can't imagine anyone outside of Hollywood cares much about the Walk of Fame. I mean Bob Freakin' Seger is on there. And Nipsey Russell isn't?!?

I'll pay fifty out of my own damn pocket for someone to sneak on over there and put a star for Nipsey over Seacrest's. Hey, sounds like guerrilla art project, someone hit Banksy on the Blackberry.

Damnit, and I just moved out of LA. If I had known I could make money for defecating in public in Hollywood, I wouldn't have moved.
You know, if you wait long enough eventually it'll get pooped on. And puked on. And eventually someone will smoke crack on it. It is Hollywood, after all.

I would imagine your digestive system is very, very bad shape because I think the going rate for farts is about 1/10 of a penny.
But still, that's an incredibly lame pre-req for the winner. Dude's gotta get his money from GoogleAds first? That's crap and it boils the whole thing down to a ploy to get traffic and we played right into it.
But it does raise some interesting questions. Like, how much would you have to get paid to get arrested for defecating in public? On a sidewalk in front of tourists?
