Besides rhino is where the real money is.
Apparently the box alone cost upward of $5 to manufacture. So the poop is just, like, a bonus.

Some of those people must have been pretty bullheaded if they expected to get something else.

I bet they felt crappy afterwards.

i think they were in it just to find out if the company could have really pulled it off. I mean you wouldn't think a company could actually ship poop but maybe some else like a picture of poop which would still be funny but this takes the cake. I'd imagine they probably stuck a shipping tax as well?

You'd be surprised. There are companies out there that specialise in the 'send poop to somebody' business.

All-in-all people got what they ordered. They don't have a right to complain. The problem is, consumers are, in general, total fucking idiots. You could sell a box of nothing. Put on the listing that you are selling an empty box. That it contains nothing but air, and STILL be labeled a scammer. Just look at what happened with the guy who bought a photo of an Xbox One on ebay. The listing, plain as day says that you are bidding on a photo and that the listing in no way shape or form is for an actual Xbox One console. Some idiots still bidded £400+ on it. Absolutely astounding. The guy who bought it 'for his son' complained to the tabloids and Microsoft sent him a god-damn Xbox One... for free. Just... what?

The person in question (if memory serves) had a 10 year old son. He was 25 year old himself. Do the math. I just think that some people just shouldn't breed. Do the entire planet a favour...

Au contraire...




On a side note, this reminded me of a giveaway that a local radio station had recently. It was basically just a skit to fill up time on the air. You could phone in with the answer to a clue and win a 'box-o-nowt'. Bit of a colloquialism, nowt = nothing. So basically a box of nothing. They'd send out a box with nothing in it. You know what? People complained. Expecting they'd get some sort of mug or some other branded tat. Nope. The competition was for a box-o-nowt and you received a 'box-o-nowt'. It was just a bit of fun and I think in the eyes of the producers, a jab at the fact that they could give away anything on the show and people would STILL ring in.
