Why has this been cross-posted to Gawker?
It’s beautiful *tears up*
All the previous posts on this topic have been x-posted. PR/fake blog/media angle.
Plus, we love taking lucky golden shits in Gawker’s mouth.

Where did you guys go to get this thing made? I would love to pick one up for the loved ones in my life.
Japan. You can get ‘em at Strapya World.
Oh those wacky Japanese folk! That is awesome! Thanks, Ben.
My Japanese is a bit rusty, but the last part of it says “grasp/grip the golden Shit”
Japanese works backwards, in a way. It says “The golden shit: holding on to good luck, money, and prosperity.” The joke is that “unko”, or poop, is evocative of the word “koun”, or good fortune.
I remember seeing these in every imaginable size and configuration (keychains, cell straps, chopstick toppers) in a souvenir shop in Kyoto Station. My dad wanted to buy one for a coworker so he could present it to him with “Don’t say I never give a shit.”
What’s with the gold soft serve ice cream?
