Editorial stance
Poop Awards, but make it satire
World’s Biggest Poo is a novelty awards satire. It takes a universal, slightly undignified daily event and treats it with the solemnity of a cathedral opening. The joke is not the subject matter. The joke is the formality. This page explains where the line is, and why it is drawn where it is.
What this site is
- A daily novelty awards website with a single flagship honour.
- Fully text-based, with a strict no-photos policy.
- Ceremonial, polished, and deliberately over-designed for the subject matter.
- A platform for dry, restrained, adult British humour.
- Operated by a fictional “committee” whose job is to keep a straight face.
What this site is not
- A medical advice service. It is not.
- A health diagnostic tool. Do not diagnose anything here.
- A place for explicit imagery, graphic descriptions, or toilet photography.
- A place to mock real, named individuals.
- A platform for bullying, harassment, or targeted cruelty.
Why satire
Satire works when the form takes itself seriously and the subject does not. The certificate is real-looking. The ceremony is genuinely ceremonial. The typography is correct. The only unserious thing in the room is what is being awarded. That contrast is the entire point of the website.
“If you are going to do something silly, do it with a letterhead.”
Community tone
Entries that succeed on World’s Biggest Poo tend to be short, dry, and gently absurd — closer to a parliamentary minute than a locker-room joke. The committee prefers understatement. Contestants whose pen names sound like minor European aristocracy tend to do well. Contestants who lean on shock material tend to be politely filed under “declined”.
Things we will always remove
- Explicit or graphic content of any kind.
- Medical claims, diagnoses, or health-scare framing.
- Real, identifiable people referenced without consent.
- Harassment, hate speech, or targeted abuse.
- Anything that tries to use the joke as a vehicle for something nastier.
