Chinese Exports — The Real Poop
I was a bit grossed out to learn that “The Chengdu Giant Panda Breeding Base has come up with a dung-for-profit scheme that turns droppings from the endangered species into odour-free souvenirs ranging from bookmarks to Olympic-themed statues… .” Such creative marketing cries out for a limerick, don’t you think?
Chinese Exports — The Real Poop
