Chicago has another stop for tourists. On Wolcott Ave outside of Wicker Park stands a fountain that causes you to stop and look twice. Shit Fountain is not just a clever name but a fountain that is shaped like a large turd.
Created by local artist Jerzy S. Kenar who is typically known for religious sculptures. The fountain sits in front of his art studio and according to Kenar, “This work is dedicated to all of the dogs in the neighborhood.”
Kenar and other locals have been annoyed about the lack of dog pile cleanup in the neighborhood. Kenar built the fountain to be ironic and humorous and had no intention of making anyone upset.
For the most part the fountain is well received by the neighborhood. However, there are always a few people who are rubbed the wrong way by such an unusual piece. No one has directly complained to Kenar, but as passersby glance at the fountain he usually sees mixed reactions.
The statue is made of bronze and emits no odor, just like all employee poop here at NTG.
Following a call of an alleged dead body found in the backyard of a vacant home, police rushed to the scene of the ‘crime.’
It was around 7:30 pm, or after dinner in Prankster time, when police arrived on scene where the suspicious thing was covered up in blankets. That thing was no dead body…
It was a pile of dog shit!
Someone or some group of masterminds collected enough dog feces to resemble a rotting human corpse. THEN, they covered it in blankets to arouse suspicion and called the cops to reveal what was a colossal waste of everybody’s time. Even the dogs’.
Well done, sirs.
If I were the cops, I’d be issuing a photo likeness of Pierce Brosnan because that is some Thomas Crown Affair style pranking.
Whether you are a dog person or not, anyone that has ever walked a dog knows how horrible it is picking up your dogs crap. Even if you have been a dog owner for several years and are used to the activity it is never going to make your top ten favorite things to do list.
On top of being disgusting and somewhat humiliating, comedian Jerry Seinfeld takes it a step further and analyzes the process on a deeper level.
” On my block, a lot of people walk their dogs and I always see them walking along with their little poop bags. This, to me, is the lowest activity in human life. Following a dog with a little scooper. Waiting for him to go so you can walk down the street with it in your bag. If aliens are watching this through telescopes, they’re going to think the dogs are the leaders of the planet. If you see two life forms, one of them’s making a poop, the other one’s carrying it for him, who would you assume is in charge?
This question has kept us all up at night at one point in our lives. Why do dogs eat poop? As expected, it turns out the answer is a bit complicated. The good people over at pet-comfort-products.com came up with 20 reasons for this grotesque phenomenon.
Coprophagia: The ingestion of poop that is neither accidental nor incidental. It is deliberate and habitual.
What's it taste like?
Here are a few of my favorite reasons amoung the 20 that were listed. For the complete list of 20 reasons you can go here.

Remember the labor of picking up after your dog? The bending. The scooping. The packaging. The carrying. Well, say goodbye to that outdated system and say hello to another crazy Japanese contraption.
I don’t know about you, but that’s the happiest dog I’ve seen all day. And the first.
The purpose of a shock ad campaign is to create a car wreck. Something so terrifying you cannot look away. Torbay, a town in Southwest England has done just that. The town has launched a new shock ad campaign depicting a child in a park eating a pile of dog feces in an attempt to scare people into picking up after their pets.
Although many people would find this campaign a bit on the extreme side, it seems to be getting the message across. Mayor David Butt (insert joke) reported incidents of dog related messes have been cut in half from April to June.
Shockingly, there has not been any complaints from locals on the new campaign. Torbay must be a laid back town. Every place I have every lived there is always some crazy local that would see something like this and make a big deal out of it. Raise a stink. Read more…
