Good News About That Awful Poo Lady

That Awful Poo Lady has been forced to stop using the title Dr in her advertising by the Advertising Standards Authority on the basis that it was misleading. After all calling yourself "Dr" implies that you have a great deal of knowledge and understanding of the subject you talking about instead of fuck all. A nation, well the bits of the nation that cares about such things rejoices.

  4. Yep C'lam she claims the right to use Dr because she has a correspondence course "doctorate" from a non accredited American College.

  5. And as Ben Goldsmith says, even his dead cat has the same accreditation as she does.

  6. The Poo Lady? I got to the part about yeast being bad for you and that was it. No yeast = no beer and HOW can that be good for you??!?!? Huh?? Tell me that Dr. Poo Lady! The Irish have been drinking a lot of beer for a very long time and they are still around. That is all the proof I need!

    I should mail her a big steaming pile of my poo and have her tell me what the state of my health is. Think that British Customs would take kindly to a box of poop mailed from the USA??
