Oh, Poop! I thought it was gas!

People, people... I like Connie's comment "I was immediately disgusted and laughing at the same time". I think that summarizes what this picture was meant for. It caused impact, good and/or bad, but it did, and that is art, whether you like it or not. If this is funny for an 8yo kid, but not funny for an adult, it's because unfortunately too many adults grow up to be too susceptible and get horrified by minor natural things. If an 8yo kid laughs at this, it means there is nothing wrong with it. This is something completely natural that could happen to anyone, and no one would scream in horror. Wars are not natural, and if war pictures teach, I think people are not learning the lesson. I see 219+ horrified voters, but I wonder if those same voters are also horrified when they vote for a pro-war presidents, for instance. I'm not saying this is a pleasant image, I know it's rather shocking, but creative. You go through other pictures in this challenge and most of them are all the same: young female models wearing sexy underwear. The challenge was clear when it said to capture a picture in a creative photograph. I find zero creativity in many photographs here, however, they are pleasant to the eyes. I also see how some men posing in their photographs were freely insulted and disrespected by other peers, just because they were not young "in shape" girls. That's the kind of society we live in, and that horrifies me MUCH more than poop, be it real or fake poop!
So, then again, I think my photograph was rated by its unpleasant impact (since I can see that most people don't have any sense of humor), and not by its creativity, or by its technicality (which wasn't too good, anyway).
Yes, this is a public forum and I don't think I broke any rules. Once again, I challenge people to report this picture and let the moderators decide.
Some of you telling me to grow up need to grow up yourself and realize this is nature. And, talking about growing up, you will find yourself in this situation more and more as you get older... I hope you don't get this horrified everytime it happens to you FOR REAL, or you may end up killing yourself...
People, people... I thought there would be more open minded people in a site like this.
In the meantime, please keep making comments. Some scare me, but most of them make me laugh! Awwww isn't it good to laugh...!? (some of you may not know, unfortunately)

It's sad how some people freely insult peers/models just because of their shape. Buddy, don't let those pig headed narrow minded puritans make you feel bad. You are right where you say that it would have scored higher had it been a young slim girl. That's how SAD and IGNORANT society is. You got my thumbs up!

MY OH MY!! How to answer all those comments!!!?
First of all, I want to say that chocolate can NEVER be tasteless, or taste bad! LOL
This was supposed to be a humorous picture, and I did get plenty of good laughs with some comments. However, I started getting a bit more concerned as more and more people were disgusted and horrified with the shot. I personally find war shots, where you see dead or dying people, or seriously injured, or with a missing arm or leg, much more disgusting, and usually, many war pictures are among "the best". It's important to remark that those are real injuries, or real dead people you see, however, my poop was not real, of course. This is art, this is creativity. Open up your mind and see beyond the image. Someone said it should be DQ'ed, I challenge him to report this to the moderators and let them decide. You may not like poop (WHO DOES?), but you have to see beyond it, see the whole photograph as a piece of crap, I mean, piece of art (LOL) and try to realize it's meant to make you laugh, and not to horrify you. Not long ago, I was watching an interview to Oliver Hardy, from 1950, where he was saying people were having too much drama and needed to laugh more. Well, 60 years later, it still applies! Too much puritanism going on, IMHO.
Now, I really wasn't going for the brown ribbon, I admit, but let's agree that it fits the picture! LOL Seriously, I didn't think this picture was going to do well, it was a last minute entry, I wanted to post something funny, knowing that most other pics were going to be of sexy women in lingerie or such. I wanted to post something different, something creative. Someone said it doesn't fit the challenge. Well, the general meaning of Lingerie is underwear in general, even though nowadays it's 99.9% used to mean women's underwear.
I think this picture was rated not for the picture itself (maybe a 4.50 would have been more fair), but for the FAKE poop. I wonder if people thought the blood in my Rage Against The Machine picture was real too...
Anyway, again, it was a fun week! I just can't believe I didn't get a single 7!! LOL I wonder if this is the lowest score ever!? WOOHOO, my first ribbon!!! :) Only part that saddens me is that I had worked hard to get my total average up to 5+, and this entry got sooo many low scores, my total average went back down to 4.88. Oh well, I'll have to start all over again!
