Award Your Own Golden Poo To That Special Company In Your Life
We tallied the votes and awarded the coveted Golden Poo trophy to AIG, winners of Worst Company in America 2009. However, we're all about empowering the consumer. If there's a company in your life that you feel deserves a Golden Poo of its own, though not on the epic scale of AIG, ThinkGeek has you covered. Order your own tiny golden poo charm for just such an occasion. Carry a pocketful and award them as needed! Attach one to your cell phone for good luck the next time you call the cable company! The possibilities are endless. [ThinkGeek] (Thanks, Adam!) Edit: ThinkGeek is now sold out. For an wide selection of poo bling, look here.

Where can I get the big version?, like the one sent to AIG
I'd probably give one to Comcast, and maybe BestBuy...
I'm sure there are other places as well.. AT&T, maybe.
Isn't poo a good luck charm in some asian countries?
So maybe golden poo isn't THAT weird.
Do they come with hallmark cards that say "Your a real piece...." and then the charm is inside the card?
Is Consumerist now technically of a nonprofit? Otherwise, you guys should sell these through the site.
All sold out, but will buy them when they are back up!
I'd give that award to Dell for their lousy sales and customer service.
If they were a bit cheaper they would be perfect to leave as a tip for epic bad service.
Mmm, shame they're not flammable. It detracts from the complete bag-o-poo experience.
Though perhaps the lanyard could be replaced with a wick.
@Darren W.: I think this would be a great fund-raising opportunity.
Or signed 8x10s of Captain Duvel Moneycats.
Either/or.
I would give one to HP. They are the most unfriendly company I have ever dealt with in my life.
@sarahq: or.. and bare with me.... "sold separately" golden bag with flames. That's a freebie idea for you.
It'd be fun to try smuggling one of these aboard an airplane, just to freak out the TSA.
Troubled TSA agent peering into x-ray viewscreen: "What's that?!"?
Me: "Poo".
TTSAA: "Poo?! But it shows up on my X-ray machine."
Me: "It's magical, golden poo."
TTSAA: "Sir, you're going to have to explain your magical, golden poo."
Me: "Is there a specific law that I'm breaking that I'm not aware of? I'm not saying that I won't answer your question. But I - and my magical, golden poo - are curious as to the rationale of this line of questioning."
TTSAA: "...Sir: explain your magical, golden poo!"
Me: "Can I record this? I - and my magical, golden poo - want to be recorded for posterity on the Internet. Internets."
Fleeing TTSA Agent (fleeing, stage left): "Ahhhhhhhhhrrgh!"
@Trickery1: I can't vouch for their service, but this site has a large variety of golden poo-themed products: [www.strapya-world.com]
Be still my heart. I want one for GE Money Bank for 24.99% interest + charging me $39 late fee on a $400 balance (that's @ 10% of the balance as a late fee). They can kiss my ass.
@wvFrugan: If you paid late and it wasn't due to one of those "pay by noon or else" scams, why should you not pay a fee?
darn it, Consumerist, I just placed my ThinkGeek order this morning (for a "Nom nom nom" bib) ... now I'll have pay shipping again to get my poo!
You do realize, that in Japan, poo is a lucky symbol, as it is a homonym of the word for luck?
If someone steps into poo, people look on the bright side and say that they've stepped into a bit of luck.
where do i put my cc number?
