    This PSA is wonderfully extreme without upseting anyting more than an appetite. I love when PSA's take shit (:D) way too far, but don't insult anyone. I genuinely do. I am not being sarcastic. I see the world through cartoon lenses and love hyperbole, exaggerations, and high drama. The world is my caricature and Bristol is doing it right.

    IF YOU DON'T CLEAN UP YOUR DOG'S POO, YOU WILL GIVE CHILDREN E. COLI.

    Perfection. :')

      I agree. While kids may not literally eat shit, the image is strong enough to stay in your head and remind you to pick up your dog's shit. Pretty freakin brilliant.

    Alternatively, they could hire people to scoop the dog poop, put it in a brown bag, track down the offending owner, put it on their doorstep, light it fire, and ring the doorbell.

    We'd be creating jobs, cleaning up cities, and teaching people lessons.

      This job would be perfect. You get to be on a moral high horse, while not actually hurting the people you are shaming in the process. Plus, you'd get to legally light things on fire!

    Ahahahaha! They did not need to put a picture of her covered in shit, but I love that someone just said "fuck it" and went for it anyway. Although honestly, when I lived in East London (as in Essex, not the part actually in London) I noticed a lot more dog crap on the sidewalk than anywhere else I'd ever lived. Thanks to Dagenham I no longer walk with my eyes ahead; they're trained on the sidewalk looking for random dog poo.

      You've apparently never lived on the upper west side in New York. I get a week's worth of cardio from all the turd-jumping I must do every morning just to reach my subway station (which is 5 blocks from my apartment). Honestly, it's dog shit central.

      No, I have not! This is good information to have...I want an index of the most and least dog-shit infested parts of the country, so that I can plan my living arrangements accordingly. I cannot go back to dog-poop-ville.

    First of all: I love this. So much. I don't even care that it's lunch time. And this child's face, covered in "poo", looking down at her hands. There's so much shame there.

    Second: I think all of you are putting way too much faith in children. And when I say that, I come from personal experience. *Most* children won't put something in their mouths like poo. However, most children like to play in dirt. Sometimes poo gets mixed in there. That's how we get ringworm.

    *Gross story ahead*

    When I was very little, I used to eat cigarette butts. *Wherever I could find them*. Never underestimate the filthiness of little children.

      I actually did eat the filter out of a cigarette butt on the ground as a kid! I think it came from seeing too many cigarette ads that made it look glamorous and exciting. Instead it just tasted like the inside of a sock. I also had to get rabies shots for playing with a dead squirrel and dressing it up as a princess.

      My little brother topped me in terms of eating nasty things though - boogers, dried up chewing gum and dead worms all found their way into his mouth at some point. Surprisingly we are now well-adjusted adults and neither of us has killed anyone.

    i see dog shit everyday. every fucking day. i don't understand it. if you can't pick up your dog's shit 100% of the time with the exception of your own closed off yard, then don't have a dog. this poster should not be required.

      I'm with you. There should be a registry for those who refuse to scoop their dogs' poop.

    My daughter will put a great many things in her mouth. However, she generally has a tendency to sniff them first, and I've seen lots of other kids do that too. Dog turds would smell pretty nasty, no? I'm sort of skeptical that even small children would not be put off the odor enough to eat dog crap. But maybe I just place too much faith in kids?

    And it seems like the kid in the poster wasn't immediately revolted by eating it either. Which makes me concerned for her even more...

      Isn't it common knowledge that little kids put everything in their mouths? Parks are shared spaces, and as someone who spends more time with kids than with dogs, I hate having to get someone's dog's shit out of the grooves of a sneaker. Bad dog owners have ruined the joy of Fall and leave fights/jumping into piles of leaves, because I've lost track of how many times people get up covered in dog shit. On top of that I've wiped countless tears, because someone stepped in poop and now the other kids are making fun of them.

      If the kid I'm caring for shits on the ground, I promise I'll pick it up. I wish all dog owners would do the same.

        I guess I shouldn't be surprised given the news in recent weeks, but I can't believe those government dirtbags raided my hard drive.

            I was immediately reminded of the time that my kid found a petrified cat turd under the porch and marched proudly into the house with it.
