Zoo Selling Sparkly Reindeer Poop for Christmas
Why a zoo would sell Rudy Poo is beyond me.
Thanks to Dan Riehl for this google item:
Sparkly reindeer-dung necklaces are going on sale at an Illinois zoo that hopes to attract the same holiday shoppers who swept up its dung Christmas ornaments last year.
The $15 pendant necklaces contain dried, sterilized reindeer droppings — sprayed with glitter — on a beaded chain. They’ll be available at the zoo’s gift shop, or by mail for $20.
The ornaments are back, and 450 have already sold this season. About 1,500 are still available for $7.50, or $10 by mail.
Miller Park Zoological Society spokeswoman Susie Ohley admits it’s a bit silly but estimates the zoo could make $16,500. The zoo lost $200,000 under city budget cuts this year.
As Dan points out, isn’t Obama from Illinois too?
I can decorate some Moose poop if anyone’s interested.
Or…there’s a Reindeer farm nearby…I can supply raw materials for any aspiring artists out there interested in making a name for themselves in “Poop art”. Or is that “Pop art”?
