Poop and pee plague the presidential race for Republican candidates online

With all of thepotty-mouthed politickingamong U.S. presidential candidates lately, rants about how"America is going down the toilet" arestarting to makemoresense.

Actual, literal sense.

A free mobilegame called 'Trump Dump,' in which players drop feces on Republican front-runnerDonald Trump until he himself turns into a pile of excrement, hit number2 (no pun intended)onthe iOS app charts last month, just days after its launch in bothCanada and the U.S.

More recently, a British bar launched a "piss poll" in whichpatrons can urinate into the mouthsofgiant Trump, Marco Rubio and Ted Cruzcut-outs to weigh in onwhich Republican candidatesthey like least.

Nightclubs inWinnipegand Paris have similarly installed Trump heads behindtheir urinals, and just this week anOhio farmer made headlines for using cow manure to spell out the billionaire businessman's name across his land.

For whatever reason, aspects of human lifeusually reserved for the bathroom are coming front and centre in conversations surrounding the 2016presidentialelection, particularly in the context ofRepublican candidates.

Some might argue that this steady stream oftoilet-humour has been inspired by whatAmerica is seeing on thecampaign trail likeRubiosuggesting that Trump wets his pants, or Trump suggesting that Hillary Clinton does "disgusting" things in the bathroom, or Trump calling Cruz a "pussy" during a televised speech.

"CanAmerica'spoliticaldiscourse get anycruder?"asked CBC News correspondentNeilMacDonald in January, well before the size ofcandidates' genitals became a matter of public debate.

The answer appears to be yes. Yes it can.

Here are just a few more of the many ways people have been using crap to express theircrappyfeelings about the upcoming election online because as gross as political poop-art may be,theinternetis eating it up right now.

The 'Politicians to Poop' browser extension

This free Chromeextension replaces the names of 2016 U.S. presidential candidates with the infamous poo emoji() for those who install itwhile theybrowse the web.

"Options allow you to 'poopify'the names of Democrats, Republicans, or both," reads the extension's description on GitHub. "Any major third-party candidates that emerge will also be added to the list."

The 'Donald Trump aspoop' mural

Street artist and Banksy parodist 'Hanksy' installed this mural of Trump as a pile of poop, complete with buzzing flies,on the side of a building in Manhattan over the summer.

The online world adored it, as did locals according toCBS News. Those in the neighbourhoodreportedly nicknamed this piece "Donald Dump."

The 'Ted Cruz Pooping His Pants'Tumblr

Simple in its concept and execution, this Tumblrconsists solely ofpictures of Canada-born U.S. SenatorTed Cruz making faces that, to some, may fit itstedcruzpoopinghispants.tumblr.comURL.

The Marco Rubio 'bae' shirt

In February, team Rubio debuted a shirt that fans could buy to support the"babyfaced thirst-machine" (as Jezebel calls him) Republican candidate. Playing on the slang word "bae," which is used as a term of affection among some English-speaking youth, the shirt reads "RU(BAE)O."

It didn't take long for the people of Twitter (and several blogs) to point out that "bae" also means "poop" in Danish.

Literal 'Pieces of shit for Trump'

Asmear campaign called 'Pieces of Shit for Trump' emerged online a few weeks ago, complete with its own website, Instagram account and printable signs.

"For too long, pieces of shit in this country have sat idly by as the current administration has made a mess of things,"reads thewebsite,created by theSan Francisco advertisingagency barrettSF. "It's time to be changed."

"From his political views to personal convictions, Donald J. Trump is a leader who not only understands the values of the common piece of shit, but who has the strength to push those values through Washington," thespiel continues."A candidate who is truly for us, because he is."

The site encourages people to order a campaign kit and "turn every pile into a patriotic monument" by decorating their dogs' droppings with tiny Trump flags.

To date, there have been 59 posts on the campaign's Instagram hashtag.
