A company in Iowa is providing the perfect revenge to customers looking to get back at an ex or a professor who gave them a bad grade.
Ship A Turd is the latest business venture of rocker Jason Eaves, known for his crazy music-promoting antics.
Eaves claims to have crashed Michael Jackson’s trial wearing only diapers and posed as a Fox affiliate to sneak into restricted areas to perform for thousands of screaming “American Idol” auditioners, according to a news release.
Shipaturd.com allows customers to mail poop as “gag” or “revenge” gifts.
“The idea of sending some poop as a gag gift is gross, but I think it’s funny as long as it does not happen to me,” said Lindy Holt, a hotel and restaurant administration junior.
The concept is simple. Customers choose a turd from a wide selection of options at http://www.shipaturd.com, pay less than $20 and, finally, tell Ship A Turd to whom and where to send the package.
Customers receive the delivery confirmation number via e-mail so they can see when the turd is delivered to the recipient.
Ship A Turd declares this to be the “perfect way to get back at that particular person who has rubbed you wrong, or just for a good laugh,” according to the news release.
“I think everyone has wanted to send a box of shit to someone at one time or another,” Eaves said. “I am just making it easier to do that.”
Ship A Turd delivers turds of all sizes and shapes to fit their customers’ needs.
The bigger the better, Eaves said.
Justin Booth, a biochemistry sophomore, loves the idea of Ship A Turd.
“What better way to get back at a crappy ex-girlfriend than to send her some crap,” Booth said. “What can I say? It’s craptacular.”
Eaves said, “The greatest part of it is it can remain 100 percent anonymous.”
Customers also can add a message or a clue along with the turd.
Jessica Hansel, an athletic training sophomore, is not impressed.
“This Ship A Turd idea is quite gross and childish,” Hansel said. “Seriously, who sends someone a piece of crap as a gag gift?”
The crew of shipaturd.com would not say whether the product was real.
“Let’s just say, don’t eat it,” according to the release.
