Like I said, about as shallow as a kiddie pool.

I really, truly wish I had something deep to say today. I don't.

Instead, I'm giggling over this:

"Poop fiction" big hit with kids

I can't decide which is more amusing: the phenomenon itself or the fact that CNN is covering it. Slow news day much?

The thing is, much as we all try and deny it, poop jokes are funny. Try it. Go on and say "poop" in a high-pitched voice like you're Beavis and Butt-head. You'll start snickering or your money back. (I can promise this because I haven't actually taken anyone's money.)

It's true. Julian knows how to read, and how to scam me, because of Captain Underpants. Of course, the appreciation cycle apparently lasts just as long as the gap in their ages, so he'll grow out of it just as his sister gets into them, and I'll be rid of the darn things in about 2008.

I truly learned the comic value of poop jokes from Tim....

Toast to the memory of Tim! *chink*

Or then, perhaps the money-back offer does not hold for those who have had some level of Vulcan training. 'Cause I have. And I didn't giggle.

Central Park Media has acquired the domestic distribution rights to the award winning Korean animated film Doggy Poo. This unique 30-minute film, from Director Oh-Sung Kwon and Executive Producer Hong-Gee Kim, is based on the best selling children’s book Doggy Poo by author Jung-Saeng Kwon.

Doggy Poo has few friends and lives in loneliness until it finds out the real value of being a poo. In this tale, a seemingly worthless piece of a dog’s excrement eventually discovers its self worth by sacrificing all of itself to help a flower bloom. This is an educational story that will inspire people of all ages.

Written by Jung-Saeng Kwon, one of the most famous writers of children’s novels in Korea, Doggy Poo, his first children’s book, won the children’s literature award in 1968. He has had over 110 short stories for children, 8 children’s novels including Tears of God and Mong-Shil, a book of poems as well as two volumes of essays published.

Doggy Poo won the “Best Pilot Prize” at The Tokyo International Anime Fair 2003 and was selected as a “Best Pilot For Domestic & International Market” by The Korean Culture & Contents Agency.

Heh! I read the CNN story and I was intrigued by "Big, Bad Battle of the Bionic Booger Boy."

Did the Six Million Dollar Boy have his nose replaced with a bionic schnozz?

And, um, I thought Captain Underpants was a weird name for a superhero until I realized that many superheros tend to wear their underwear outside of their tights, don't they?
