Merde

A conte of my own.

For centuries on the Island of Merde the people had been dominated by their priests.

And over those centuries the Merdians had been profoundly brainwashed by the priests into the most intense guilt and shame about defecation.

But at last there came a period of religious Enlightenment, and then of political liberation that broke the cultural power of the Merdian Church.

Culture warriors of liberation arose, and it came to pass that every play, every novel, every short story, and every new film contained scenes of delightful, delighted, happy defecation.

And parades were held annually in every city featuring veritable orgies of public defecation, vast celebrations of shit.
