With a tongue-in-cheek (ugh, pardon the terrible pun) lampooning of the multitudes of multicolored support ribbons that festoon our cars, windows and lapels, SupportOurPoops.org has a movement you can get behind no matter your political affiliation--your own.
While certainly not for the faint of heart, 10% of the proceeds from the US-made $5 magnets and $2.99 buttons do go to The Cancer and Prevention Foundation to aid in--what else?--colon cancer research and awareness. The website features facts about colon cancer and implores readers to stop thinking of bowel movements as taboo talking points.
