Guy Fournier has resigned. I like pooping too, but let's not overdo it.

I like the use of tags on this post. Especially the application of 'fascinating'.

Let's face it.

He's been circling the bowl for a while now.

This guy is great. Any suit who can do an interview and opine about the joying of pooping for 10 minutes is okay in my book. We need more people like this in charge of things.

Boy, he really flushed his career down the commode. Now that he's retired, he can go to Lebanon for some good animal sex.

So the factoid about Lebanon was false, what's the actual rule? No bestiality? Or do they even have rules about it?

Metafilter: The problem was that the information, gleaned from the Internet, was false.

I'm going to add this thread to my running tally as evidence of the axiom "Any conversation left to run it's course long enough eventually discusses poop".

I may have to amend that axiom with the words "even weblogs as conversation".

This reminds me of the greatest story I ever read. It'c called "Buttfuck Payback," and was published in Nuggets magazine a decade or so ago. It is about a man who forces dirty butt sex on his Gypsy girlfriend, who curses him, so that the next time he has a bowel movement, it will be the worst thing ever.

Most of the story then details said bowel movement, it excruciating, loving detail. It really is the worst thing ever. It's beyond horrible. We used to read it out loud backstage at the Blue Barn theater, and listeners were known to flee the room, or vomit, or fain, or some combination of the three. For years, we wanted to produce Buttfuck Payback as a late-night show. We wouldn't tell people what the show was, we would just promote it as a staged reading of an important new American work. We'd have a black tie dress code, and open with a wine and cheese party. Everyone would take their seats, and we would open with an extended introduction about our fervent belief that this story was epochal, the sort that would change literature forever, and it is with great pride that we debut it.

Then the theater's artistic director would come out in top hat and tales, take his position before a podium, open Nuggets magazine, and read the story title: Buttfuck Payback.

Our guess is that by the time he got to the part of the story in which the narrator herniates himself, half the audience would have fled the theater.

Unfortunately, the Blue Barn caught fire years ago, and the magazine was destroyed by the force of the fire department's hoses. So now I know how it is that important works of art can be lost to the world forever.

Here's a report on this resignation from 21 September. It was two days stale then. Hello? Going through the paper recycling bin, were we?

Hell, your second link is from 9 days ago...

Your favorite poo-related resignation story sucks.

It can't be that hard to find a microfilm copy of Nuggets Magazine can it? What's the Library of Congress call number, I'll look it up.

I just realized my poor choice of link text might possibly lead someone to think I had found the article text online. Sorry.

Well, at least the "Pooping" wikipedia link wasn't a caret. However, I have to commend whoever was pedantic enough to create that entry -- let alone the person who found the picture of a cowpie and carefully captioned it as "cow feces."

Bravo.

Imagine facing ridicule for comments you make.

The Conservative Reform Alliance Party (CRAP) are just upset because they don't have bowel movements and they don't want bestiality mentioned for fear of alienating western votes.

I'm confused. I thought MeFi was for posts about things that we thought were interesting or unusual. I just heard about this today and backtracked a couple of sources... was this supposed to be a butt-breaking news flash? I think it's funny that some people point out that this is a little old, I mean, those men dressing up as frilly girlies is like, um... 4 years old (or more) and no one seemed to mind.

I thought a CBC exec talking about the joys of SEXcreting was pretty funny -and I still do!

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm working on a multiple poop-gasm.

I'm not going to be cleaning the poo-filter...

I can't remember where I read it, but there was an article from an old man giving a top 10 advice to the younger generation. One of the points was "At some point, the declining pleasure from the sexual act and the increasing pleasure from bowel movements intersect... and I plan to be long dead before that day"

Astro Zombie writes "We wouldn't tell people what the show was, we would just promote it as a staged reading of an important new American work. We'd have a black tie dress code, and open with a wine and cheese party."

Are you sure that cheese was so à propos for a show that expounds at length about bowel movements?

I hear that Fathers Against Rude Television (FART) demanded his resignation.

Alright: somebody out there must have access to R. v. Triller, hmmm? Come on, cough it up!

Bestiality is a subject that has always ruffled a few feathers. People feel that the subject rubs them the wrong way.
