You might have seen the photo I just linked. From what I've seen it has been reposted ad nauseum here on reddit.

I took that photo on Dublin Road in Belfast in 2010. Here's a screenshot from my Facebook Mobile Uploads: http://i.imgur.com/8OUiq.jpg .

My friend made a quick Photoshop and posted it in the comments (it doesn't link to the photo any more so there's no point in showing the link to his page). We had a good laugh and thought nothing more of it.

2 years later an Irish Facebook humour page posts it and I decide to google "Throwing your own poo. It's not a good look" :

• Forums from Derby County Football Fans to Canadian beer enthusiasts

Quite a few people thought it was real, which is strange. Others seem to have thought it was a satirical poster some troll stuck up on a phone box.

Anyway - mildly interesting - and it clears up the origins of this once and for all!
